Subject: [Ubuntu-manual] Chapter 4 (Hardware) - Help needed
All,
We're not making any progress on Chapter 4 (Hardware and Preferences), and we
need to make a lot of progress in order to hit our deadlines.
I am asking for several volunteers to take up this work.
I have posted a proposed outline of the chapter at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Blueprints/Hardware -- note that I moved
some of the old components out into other chapters, since they more logically
fit there (for example, most hardware-related preferences items can be talked
about in Chapter 4, but the desktop ones probably fit better in Chapter 2 which
talks about the desktop).
The proposed structure is as follows (the web version has more detail):
* Using your devices * Keyboard and mouse * Displays * Connecting and using
your printer
* Sound * USB drives * Burning CDs and DVDs * Using a webcam * Scanning text
and images * Other devices * Firewire * Bluetooth
I would like to find three or four people to work on this project, so that no
one person has to specialize in all the different pieces of hardware.
Please respond if you can help. Even if you cannot help with high-quality
writing, you can still help with research and configuration steps, and someone
else can improve your writing later.
Feel free to reply to the list, or to me privately, if you'd like to help.
We'll close the search for contributors in a couple of days.
