I'll be happy to edit the DASH section.

Do we have anyone who is going to own the screenshots yet? I ask because it would be good for one person to do all the screenshots so that we have visual unity across the chapter--rather than each editor of each section inserting screenshots (I, for one, have some theme customizations on my installation; my screenshots may conflict with others' palettes).

    Hi Vibhav, Tony, JohnC, Jim,
    Thank you all for your reaction to c7p's call for authors for
    chapter 2 (see below).
    Most of you offered to review, edit this chapter. I would like to
    coordinate the editing of this chapter. In a previous email I
    suggested:
    quote
    One option would be to have more authors and editors assigned to
    this chapter (Tony, Vibhant, JohnC, Jim, Hannie) where each has
    his/her own specialty like Dash, Unity, Launcher, Nautilus etc.
    unquote
    If you agree, let me know and I will try to assign sections to
    each one of you. I will do the Nautilus section (no changes there,
    except screenshots ;) )
    If you also want to contribute as an author for this chapter,
    please contact c7p.
    Regards,
    Hannie

    Reactions on c7p's email:
    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 ?

    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.

    22-05-2012: Hello everyone, I'm Jim Connett, and I'm very
    interested in helping to edit this section.
    I'm up-to-speed on the LaTeX formatting from the well-written
    guide and have even started perusing Chapter 2 since it looks like
    this is where our focus resides.

Since there is nobody assigned to this chapter feel free to make any improvements. I did some updates yesterday and i'll keep updating the content so in the worst case we 'll have an updated chapter version of the 11.10 manual. Regarding the screenshots check Hannie's instructions https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/msg02988.html

Also if you are going to make changes that regard the structure of the chapter, let me know first. Btw if you want we can both write/update that part of the chapter.

Thank you !
