I work best when given a deadline (focuses the mind). I will work with the
28 August date as my deadline. I have already done some changes via the Wiki. My EMACS/DocBook skills are still very basic, but I hope to be up-to-speed soon.

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!
Paul, I agree with your approach. We should keep the intended reader in mind. The English vocabulary should also avoid jargon as much as possible (my personal defect).
Paul, Cody, Damien, Matt: please review the changes I made so far and let me know if I'm on the right track. Unless instructed otherwise, I will continue to concentrate on the DUG.
