HI everyone,

 

As for the Advanced Topics, most of won’t change. The terminal commands section and the file system structure definitely won’t change. As for securing Ubuntu, it might change in that the window you use may be modified, but most of it will still be the same (password strength, etc.). Users and Groups and System Update/Firewall/Encryption may change in that the dialog boxes (windows) will be modified.

 

I’ll try to download the alpha build this weekend (or beta if it’s available), and take a quick look at the different pieces. As for authoring or editing, I can’t make any commitments, although I would love to. 

 

Have a great day. J
Patrick.

Subject: [Ubuntu-manual] Weekly update

 

To all,
>From now on I will do a regular update of the list of authors/editors in our shared Xenial sheet [1]. I have adjusted the pages to the last manual.pdf, Trusty-e2. So far we have:

Chapters/sections that have NO author/editor yet:

Chapter 2, The Ubuntu Desktop
I am not sure if Tiffany wants to take care of the whole chapter. In my opinion, it is too much for one person.

Chapter 6, Advanced Topics
* Intro + Terminal
* File system structure
* Securing Ubuntu
* Users and groups
* System update + Firewall + Encryption

Chapter 7, Troubleshooting

I would like to ask those of you who have not yet added your name to the list, 
Mehmet Atif Ergun, Sylvie Galet, Miles Robinson, Sam Klein, 
to please have a look at the sheet [1] and add your name to the sections you want to work on.

Chapters/sections that have an author/editor:

Prologue - Hannie Dumoleyn
Chapter 1, Installation - Eric Marsh, Pravin Dhayfule
Chapter 2, The Ubuntu Desktop * - Tiffany Tisler
Chapter 3, Working with Ubuntu - Pravin Dhayfule
Chapter 3, Working with documents - Eric Marsh
Chapter 4, Hardware and Preferences - Paul Bridgeman
Chapter 5, Software management ** - Thomas Corwin
Chapter 6, Section Running Programs on Ubuntu  - Thomas Corwin
Chapter 8, Learning more - Hannie Dumoleyn

* This chapter is too comprehensive for one person, so Tiffany, could you please add your name to the sections of this chapter (10 sections, from Intro till Getting help) you want to work on?
** I am not sure if Thomas wants to take care of the whole chapter.

Hannie
