Hello Gregor and Sean, I am glad to have checked my email late this weekend and even elated to the growing interest our previous meetings and plans have been.
As for the issues regarding the use and integration of Lenya and Forrest for the improvement of Ubuntu Documentation, I am sure we will have a workable solution come the scheduled meeting on the 16th of June. While the use of platform or technology is a touchy issue, the Ubuntu developer and documentation community has recognized the need for dialog for such, hence the scheduled meeting. I am quite intersted in this project for it can help share the future of Ubuntu documentaion in future releases. Sean, in case you are interested in pursuing this, would a virtual server at Linode.com work? I will put this email correspondence on file and take it up with the community during the meeting. BTW, I am not subscribed to the apache/lenya lists. Thanks, Jerome Gotangco On 6/12/05, Sean Wheller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One problem I must warn of.
