Fine, I think.  I added myself to the Googe Docs sheet to author the
Installation chapter for Lubuntu, and commited my first pass (didn't
actually go all the way through it in depth, but I made a start).  No
screenshots yet, I need to read the Ubuntu Manual Style Guide for
details on how to get those right, and then try it out.

There are a few interesting implications for Lubuntu as a whole in
documenting things this way.  Example#1: We need to decide what the
"official" place to go to to download Lubuntu is, and then commit to
keeping it that way.  Example#2: We need to decide what we recommend for
installing in 512MB PCs -- do we tell people to use the Altermate CD in
that situation?

Good!  So now you can pick a chapter or two and start writing.  Lead the
way and set us a good example :)
