I thought that I was doing this section. The new ubuntu has not
changed that much from the last, I observe, so mostly what will be
needed is new screenshots and maybe expanding the chapter. I can
do the job of scanning the chapter for changes, but expansions may
need to be done by someone else.

Hello there !
The Ubuntu Desktop section needs your help !
This part of the chapter covers the basics of
the Ubuntu Desktop environment (Login screen,
Unity, Launcher, Dash, windows, workspaces, HUD).
We need an author for this section cause it's
one of the most critical sections of the
manual, maybe the most important. Are you
interested ?
Even if an author appear or not it would be
good to have some people to review the
section, find what's good and what's not.
Also suggestions on how to improve the the
section or the chapter as a whole would be
beneficial too. So if you don't have the time
to write the section, but you have a little
time to spare on the chapter you may review
it, make suggestions etc as i mentioned before.
Finally if nobody turn up, i'll maintain the
chapter but the reviews and suggestions are
necessary for me -i don't have much free time
so every second hand would be helpful- !
@Kevin: Could you upload the final 11.10 pdf
on crocodocs so people can review and make
suggestions on Ubuntu Desktop section ?
@Saytan: You can write the HUD section if you
want, contact me if you need more info
Thank you for your time, have a great week !

Hi John
I did volunteer to review this part of the manual
in last night's meeting. I have already had a
look at the first few pages. But I need to get a
plain vanilla 12.04 up and running in VB to check
things out (for instance, I don't think a simple
install will have a Keyboard Indicator). Let me
know if you want me to continue with this, and,
if you do, how much of the Desktop chapter you
want me to be editor for.

Yap i remember that you volunteered last night,
but i didn't have your e-mail.
Hannie knows more about the proofread in general,
the part of the manual that needs you most is from
the start of the chapter till the start of the
nautilus section. Do this for start and if you
have more time continue with the rest of the
chapter, but contact Hannie first.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you for your time!
