Hi Sylvie,

Thank you for your offer to help and your comment. Sadly, thus far we 
have had just one response. That means that, apart from Kevin, you, me 
and Sayantan Das nobody from the Ubuntu Manual Team has offered to help 
contribute.

According to [1] we have 150 active members. I wonder if they have 
received/read the latest e-mails on this list.

Unfortunately, we cannot start working on a new version of our manual 
until we have enough contributors, which is very doubtful.

Best regards,
Hannie
