I'd like to point out that it is VERY important that people read and agree with the information in the DUG's Introduction, particularly Assumptions. If you don't see a skill listed there, avoid writing as if the reader had it. Those skills should be kept to a minimum because the only people who will be interested in this guide are beginners to the world of Linux. If they are comfortable with computers, the DUG is *NOT* going to do them a world of good. It's more for Grandma, as I see it. Be gentle and inclusive! > How does this approach sound?

I personally want to spend more time on the IG if I can find it around the mountain of pending email on f-a-b and other Round Tuits. Someone was doing screenshots which I hope will make it in shortly. The positive note for the IG is that other than a few revisions and additions it is basically solid thanks to Stuart Ellis' hard work, and will easily withstand the rigors of another release. -- Paul W.
