To all,
After the previous discussion "where do we go from here?" I think we can
conclude that we now have enough active members to continue with the
Ubuntu Manual Project. Thanks to all of you who are willing to continue
or start to contribute.
The next question is: will we continue to publish all versions, or only
LTS. I want to bring this to a vote. Below [1] you find a list of all
the active members we have at this moment. If you see your name on this
list, please vote for either all versions or LTS only. Of course, if
your name is not on the list you may vote too, but then we expect you to
be an active member. Some of you have already responded on this subject,
but it would be better if each one of you sends his/her vote to our list
like this:
Name LTS only Comment (optional)
or
Name all versions Comment (optional)
Depending on the result, we will have to adjust our shared spreadsheet
(see my previous comment on this). I also want to suggest that, in the
future, we have one person - author/editor - responsible for a chapter
or section(s). We will not have enough contributors to let each
chapter/section have both an author and an editor.
Below [2] you find some of my thoughts on what to do if we opt for LTS
only. Please feel free to add your comment.

LTS only:
Make new shared document: author/editor one job
only important chapters/sections (Prologue, Learning More, and a few
other chapters will hardly change)
bug fixing (this can be done between LTS versions)
post "What's new" on ML regularly (if you have found something new in a
standard versions, please report it)
LTS 14.04 2nd edition (this was suggested by Sylvie, and it is a good
idea. Kevin is willing to publish a second edition and he can add a new
branch to LP)
