Hello Eric,
Erroneously, I had sent the link for the raring spreadsheet, instead of
the one for Xenial. Sam Klein notified me and I have sent a correction
to the list. The Xenial sheet can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10Nl3Yue69IM2EflSdyeHgADET49RZRmgfDVoxHutQIk/edit#gid=2094840941
I have decided to join authors and editors in one group. The reason for
this is that most of the chapters and sections have been written already
and we do not have enough contributors to have an author and an editor
for each chapter. We want authors/editors to check if the contents of
"their" chapters/sections is still correct for Xenial. In many cases it
is, but sometimes the text needs to be slightly changed. I am not sure
if this version, 16.04, will have major changes compared to the previous
LTS version. I understand that 16.04 will not have Unity 8 as default yet.
If you do not have Ubuntu (GUI) installed, perhaps you could download
the manual and read the chapter the contents of which you would like to
check. If it needs rewriting, you could ask via our list if someone else
is willing to do that.
And yes, if a chapter already has a name, you can add yours as well.
If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Hannie

Hi Hannie,
I'm looking at this spreadsheet and I wonder what the grey background
means on some cells. Are those sections to be excluded?
Also, can I join a chapter that already has a person on it?
Finally, I don't know exactly what the process is for authors. I
currently do all of my Ubuntu work from the terminal, so I imagine
that it would be hard for me to actually write original content on my
own on most of these topics given that I don't have an in-depth
knowledge of the screens. I assume therefore that I'm better as an
editor. Is this logic correct?
Thanks,
Eric

To all,
Today I want to start with the preparations for the coming version
of our manual, Xenial Xerus 16.04. Yes, I believe we can do it
with the contributors we have so far, see list below [3].
I would like to ask all of you in the category
authors/editors/reviewers to go to our shared spreadsheet [1],
sheet Xenial 16.04, choose the chapters/sections you want to work
on and add your name to these chapters/sections in the column
Authors/editors. (You can download our latest manual from [4] to
see which chapters/sections are to your liking.) As soon as we
have enough chapters covered, I will send an email to this list
with more detailed instructions, especially for those who are new
to our team. If you have any questions, please send them to this list.
Kevin has already set up the new Xenial branch, see [2]. I made
the xenial.pdf successfully on my PC. I will explain later how
this works, but in the meantime you can have a look at the
following pages with detailed information: see [4].
