Peter, This is absolutely amazing stuff. Putting it on a wiki would definitely make it a living document that can be updated as Ubuntu Studio evolves. In fact, I would like to officially extend an invitation to join our documentation team.
To get started, sign-up for an account on https://launchpad.net and then let us know where to find your account (https://launchpad.net/~[us ername]). From there, we can add you to the Documentation team and get the ball rolling from there. If Ryan Hoover (aka SlidingHorn) is reading this, I'd like him to fill you in on where we are at. That said, I think your handbook deserves an entire section on the official wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStud io). As soon as you get that launchpad account, we can add you to the documentation team which should help at least speed-along whatever access is needed. Thank you for this! I can't wait to read it!
