[Jamin Day <jaminday+ubuntu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I notice I am still the assignee for the 'editing' blueprint on Launchpad
(ubuntu-manual-maverick-alpha). I'm still keen to help out but am really
snowed under with work this time round, and just won't have the same time to
put in as I did for the Lucid release.

I'll still be around chipping in what I can just not to the same extent, so
if someone else thinks they have what it takes to assume some kind of
coordination role over the ongoing editing of the manual, let us know as
I'll be happy to pass it on. Ideally you would already be an active member
of the ubuntu-manual community and have experience contributing to the
project in the past.

Cheers guys,

Jamin
