Thoughts on a UM manual

Ubuntu-Mate manual as an ebook | Part 2

So the aim might be a multi-authored, gratis Free Open Source manual as an ebook...

In that case I think this platform (FLOSS manuals) has much to offer:

It seems to me that this could be the tool to use in persuit of an Ubuntu-Mate manual.

  • I presume it only makes sense writing it once 16.04 LTS is out.
  • You might want to decide upon a structure (chapters & their scope).
  • Then set up the "skeleton-structure" in the different languages it has been decided to aim for.
  • Then try to establish milestones for a production plan.
  • Then recruit authors (who would like to work on which chapter/language).
  • Publish with links on the Ubuntu-Mate website.
  • Decide upon update strategy (contributions whenever by whoever, update-windows (with a new release following closure of the window), etc..

These suggestions are only meant to demonstrate one possible approach.

Any thoughts anyone...? :penguin:
