Hi dudes and dudettes, Unfortunately this cycle has been a bit of a disaster. Everyone got rather busy, I got very busy with University and work, and the team just collapsed on itself. It's something that should have been avoided, but we can't do anything about it now except look to the future. We need to get this team up and running again - i'm sure we all agree. So, that's what we're going to do. I'll write some articles for OMG! etc, soon, but first I want to have a clear understanding of where we are with a concise to do list and targets to hit.
Here's my understanding of the situation: - The manual for 10.10 is not out. This is the biggest one. I believe we still have all the screenshots to grab, a lot of new text to write / change, more copy-editing, the credits, glossary to update, new title page, new colour style and more. I'll open up bugs/blueprints for all of these and email the final list of each specific task to the list later today, or tomorrow. Assign yourself to something you think you can do, and start doing it. Target date for the Maverick manual: End of October, at the very latest, November 10th. - Quickshot. We need Quickshot to crowdsource screenshots, but I haven't heard from the QS team in a while. What's happening with that? Is version 1.0 finished and ready to use? If not, could you hack up something that we can use in the meantime? Target date for Quickshot: ASAP - The new Ubuntu Manual website. I know Adnane (daker) has been working hard on the whole new website, which we agreed to launch alongside the manual. This is the user-facing, front of our project - it's what not only *readers* of the manual see, but also what the rest of the Ubuntu community see. When we release this new, (absolutely amazing) website it will represent a /new face/ for the project. Kevin, you have the server that the current site is on. I need to renew the domain name, which I think might have automatically happened. I believe Josh might be hosting something on his VPS too. Adnane, Kevin and Josh - communicate and get the website ready to switch when we release the manual. Target date for website: End of October or November 10th - same as the manual. - Quickshot website for http://quickshot.org - I believe this is already finished, just needs to go live. Target date for Quickshot website: ASAP - Ubuntu Support and Learning Center, Quickstart booklets, Personas. We'll talk about these after we've got the manual out. We need a meeting soon. Could someone please set up one of those things where we can all mark times available and email it to the list? Thanks! -- Benjamin Humphrey interesting.co.nz ohso.co _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
