Hello, everyone. The following are proposed release schedules for a second edition of Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 and Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.10.
There appear to be enough egregious errors and inconsistencies in first edition of Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 to warrant a second edition. (In the future, however, I'd prefer that we not have to issue second editions.) Please comment on the following proposed release schedules. Both schedules have the final manual being released on the same day as Ubuntu itself. Proposed release schedule for Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 - Second edition Editing phase (now – 20 Aug): * Authors update content * Editors copy-edit and proofread the content * Final draft is released at the end of this phase Release phase (20 Aug – 23 Aug): * The manual is prepared for release * The manual is released at the end of this phase Proposed release schedule for Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.10 Authoring phase (now – 17 Sep): * Changes to the second edition of Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 should be incorporated * Authors update and write new content * Draft screenshots are put in place * First draft is released at the end of this phase Editing phase (17 Sep – 1 Oct): * Editors copy-edit and proofread the content * Second draft is released at the end of this phase Indexing phase (1 Oct – 8 Oct): * Final screenshots are put in place * The manual is indexed * Glossary entries are edited and linked * Public draft is released at the end of this phase Public comments phase (8 Oct – 15 Oct): * Comments and edits from the public are received and incorporated into the manual * Final draft is released at the end of this phase Release phase (15 Oct – 18 Oct): * The manual is prepared for release * The manual is released at the end of this phase Thanks for your comments! —Kevin Godby _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
