Re: Help with trusty version

 

Thanks, Thomas and Carsten, for helping Allen.
@Allen, I am glad to hear you have now installed Texlive successfully.
If you need any help with your contributions as an author or editor,
please let us know. If there is a particular subject you want to work
on, please add your name to the chapter or section in our spreadsheet
[1], tab Trusty.
 
@all: as I have mentioned when we started with the Trusty version, this
time I will not be available as editors coordinator. Since Jim also
stopped being our authors coordinator, we really rely on you people to
help with the (re)writing and editing of the manual, Trusty version.
There is not much time left, so I would like to ask all of you: _please
help_, there is not much time left before the release of Trusty. Have a
look at our spreadsheet and pick a chapter or section to proofread. Just
add your name to it on the spreadsheet, Thanks.
Regards,
Hannie
