[ubuntu-za] Ubuwiki Live released to mark Software Freedom Day

[David Robert Lewis]

Thanks, please support offline distribution of web-pages
via the ubuwiki, share information and create a more informed
community. The digital divide is growing massively, and not everybody
has broadband or even internet access! Also, we need to thank the Java
people without whom the stickwiki/ubuwiki would not be possible.



David.



PS: There are still a lot of bugs, but hopefully these will be sorted out through ongoing WoaS collaboration.
