Hello Eric,
Erroneously, I had sent the link for the raring spreadsheet, instead of 
the one for Xenial. Sam Klein notified me and I have sent a correction 
to the list. The Xenial sheet can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10Nl3Yue69IM2EflSdyeHgADET49RZRmgfDVoxHutQIk/edit#gid=2094840941

I have decided to join authors and editors in one group. The reason for 
this is that most of the chapters and sections have been written already 
and we do not have enough contributors to have an author and an editor 
for each chapter. We want authors/editors to check if the contents of 
"their" chapters/sections is still correct for Xenial. In many cases it 
is, but sometimes the text needs to be slightly changed. I am not sure 
if this version, 16.04, will have major changes compared to the previous 
LTS version. I understand that 16.04 will not have Unity 8 as default yet.

If you do not have Ubuntu (GUI) installed, perhaps you could download 
the manual and read the chapter the contents of which you would like to 
check. If it needs rewriting, you could ask via our list if someone else 
is willing to do that.

And yes, if a chapter already has a name, you can add yours as well.

If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Hannie
