Hi Joe,

Cool sounds good. I'm heading off to work now, as for the wiki stuff I
had this idea:

Leave the main page with everything except:

Table of Contents can go to a new wiki page, something like
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual-ToC

Meeting Summaries can go to a new wiki page, something like
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual-meetings

Blueprint specifications can go to a new page, something like
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual-blueprints

FAQ can go to a new page, like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual-faq

... And Technical Details/Using bzr can go to a new page, something
like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual-help

On the main page, up the top there should be a menu with the
aforementioned pages so it's easy to navigate. (Like Jono's Lernid
wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid )

Actually if you want you can leave it for me to do and I'll make the
changes when I get back from work.

Perhaps that's the best idea, if you could focus on writing the HowTo
on LaTeX (and make it specific to our project) on the current wiki,
and leave all organizational changes to me, that'd be fantastic :)

Cheers,
Benjamin
