Hey all,

A variety of things going on in my life have pulled me away from the
assistant for many months now.  But with some gentle nudging from the
Ubuntu Vancouver Local Committee, I'm trying to find some time to spend
on RHA.  Thanks, new members!  My time's likely to be limited and
unpredictable for the near future, but I'll do my best.

Before I was dragged away from the project, the 0.1 branch was in its
maintenance phase, as 0.2 was being developed.  0.2 is a significant
overhaul, throwing out bits that didn't work, reworking bits that didn't
work right, and adding bits that were omitted before.  I've attached a
beta version of 0.2, so people can try it out without downloading the
source repository.

I've tested 0.2 enough to know that it will take you through at least a
few screens, but I still haven't set up a virtual machine to test it
against, so it may fall on its face after that.  Here are some things
I'd really like people to test:

* Can you run the assistant?  Is it obvious how to start it, and get
around it?  Would your gran say the same thing?
* Can you connect to other people with the assistant?
* The easiest way to access the documentation is through Advanced > More
information on page 3.  Does the documentation make sense to you?  Does
it seem like a reasonable way to organise the assistant?

I'm currently developing the 0.2 codebase here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~andrew-bugs-launchpad-net/remote-help-assistant/0.2

If you're interested in the programming side of things, feel free to
download the code, play about with it, and upload your changes.
Otherwise, suggestions are always gladly received on the list :)

Incidentally, the documentation is currently released under the GFDL
because that's what GNOME recommends.  I'm not that comfortable with the
GFDL, and it seems that I'm not the only one, as the Ubuntu
Documentation Project prefers the Creative Commons ShareAlike license.
I'm quite cautious about legal issues, and after literally minutes of
searching, I've not been able to find a trustworthy guide to putting
your documentation under the CC-BY-SA license.  If anyone out there
knows of such a guide, please speak up!

	- Andrew
