[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Manual
FYI, We have started the work on Lubuntu Manual. We will be targeting netbooks and Desktops. Its to complement the documentation from an end-user's point of view. Suggestions welcome. -- bSwapnil Bhartiya/bbr Editor: Muktware.combr Skype: No Way...its non-free.

Cheers, James Gifford I think this is great. If we get to know about where you are running short of hands, we can pitch-in and try to address that in Muktware's Lubuntu Manuan, since it will be under CCL, you can use what you find useful. What say?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Manual?
I think the excitement about documentation is great, you can never work too hard on documentation. However I don't see the value in creating yet another source. I'd be more excited to see people contributing to the already existing documentation on the Wiki [0], the help site [1] [2] and the semi-official manual [3]. Dispersing effort on multiple projects to achieve the same goal seems a bit counter-productive to me but I guess that's the great thing about Linux, everyone is free to do as they please.

We are trying to create user-centric manual for all major distros and Lubuntu is going to be a hot property. The users who come to Muktware to read stories will be able to see benefits from such manuals. Since all manuals are at one place, they can also learn how something is done on other distros. In the end all it is going to do is complement each other. NOTE: We are about to publish a user-centric manual of Arch Linux as well :-). So, you can look at it as all the quality manuals at one place. We will assist the team with the official manual as well. Our content is released under CC licence so anyone can use it.

Hi, I don't get as much time as I'd like to keep up with the various How To's, but the IRC support guys do keep the FAQ section [1] updated regularly. Regards, Phill.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Manual?
Hi, We created a detailed manual of Ubuntu 11.04 [1] for Muktware.com. I personally use Lubuntu on my Dell mini as it is faster than Xubuntu. So, I will be very much interested in writing a similar manual for Lubuntu. Any pointers or suggestions? Who should I get in touch with to discuss what else we need for the manual? Most imp question of all: do we need a manual for Lubuntu? [1] http://www.muktware.com/man/1068 Best -- bSwapnil Bhartiya/bbr Editor: Muktware.combr Skype: No Way...its non-free.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Manual?
Hi, sorry for the delay in answering, it does take a couple of days for me to get in touch with people and await for them to respond. My current thinking and proposal is that we do actually add a Lubuntu section to the main manual. This will cover parts that are specifically Lubuntu. It is, however, no minor task as we would be altering a lot of pages to include references to Lubuntu for specific tasks. I'd like a bit more time to chat with the Manual team and ask them what they suggest. Regards, Phill.

Do we keep this discussion here or discuss within a group, so that what ever conversation you have with the team and see what they suggest. 2. I can create a TOC (table of content) based on the Ubuntu manual and share with the team. We have experience with manuals as we also created Linux Mint manual and Fedora 15 manual. So, we can create a TOC and focus on what is specific to Lubuntu (especially installing on variety of hardware and driver issues, if any). 3. We can also add section on light weight apps, which don't come pre-installed but can be useful for users for specific tasks. 4. We can also have a tips/tricks chapter to better utilize Lubuntu. 5. The entire manual will be created from scratch. Don't worry about man-hours we will have to invest in creating it. If we start early we can deliver the manual the day Lubuntu 11.10 is launched. Note: we can also create additional YouTube manual.
