as a sidenote, i wondered whether it's possible to make the english a
little more "accessible" to non-native english speakers ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection does give me an idea what
you were trying to say, but still

when http://www.ubuntuguide.org was just up i've emailed the maintainer
about a mistake and he emailed back and changed it very soon

well, i've looked at http://help.ubuntu.com and realise that what i

terminal-part) combined with the not-having-to-open-up-another-webpage

nevertheless, good luck to the ubuntu-documentation project!
