+1 from me. I think the new plan will work as a good introduction.
Perhaps, like JaminDay says, we can do something about Chapter 7 not
being a pure introduction to the terminal, but perhaps a task-oriented
one? What if we merge chapter 7 and 8 and just create a
"troubleshooting" chapter, which st
Also, please do not forget that an em-dash () in LaTeX is "---". Please use
"space, dash, dash, dash, space" to separate thoughts within a sentence.
Much like double quotes this applies to writers, but especially for editors.
I've recently gone through and fixed up all existing copy.

I think the new structure is good, and seems to progress in an intuitive
way. Ie starting with an explanation of the installation process, to
navigating your new system and it's default layout/software, to slowly
learning how to configure and set it up to the way you want, add more
programs, and th
Yes this is correct - double quotes should be written ``some text'', not the
standard way we are all used to. Whilst it would be good for writers to do
this as they go it is easy to forget (guilty of this myself), so as the
chapters are edited this is one of the things anyone editing (and anyone

Vish: The advanced section is basically going to be from Chapter 7
onwards, so technically the terminal stuff is in the advanced section.
Yeah I forgot Pitivi was on the default install, this is just a mistake.
It won't be in our final extra apps list.

I vaguely remember reading that on an Ubuntu wiki somewhere, recently, but I
couldn't find it.

Hi guys!
During translation I noticed a few strings which contains double quotes. I
thought that LaTeX wants *``this''* style, not *"this"*.

Scratch that: after a recent Update Pitivi is *already* included in
Lucid by default . So it will be in Alpha 2.

Also to note: pitivi is planned to be in the default install. Is it
justified to have it in chapter 9 ?

I would suggest that we *not* even have a chapter on the terminal
[chapter 7]. Defer it to the advanced section , where it would serve as
an introduction to the terminal usage.
For a few reasons:
- There is a profound fear among new users that Linux==terminal knowledge is a
must. Not mentioning

This is what Joe Burgess, Thomas Cantera and I came up with in the
meeting on Saturday. See the logs for more detail.
Basically we think we've got a Table of Contents that covers everything
we presently have, and some more. It's not too long, it's not too
confusing and it gets harder as it adv

I like Ilya's second proposal, but Joe is right - we don't need to go
through every single application that's in the default install.
I don't like how our whole advanced section is condensed into two
chapters though. We need to combine some of the middle stuff and then
have it balance out, maybe s
Ok, here is piece of thought.
I do think we have to re-organize the manual. I think Ilya is proposing
an interesting arrangement, but that Benjamin also has a point in
keeping the number of chapters low. But I don't think we should do it
because people might not want to read the manual as a whole,
The terminal really is a place where only people are really into linux
go. The idea of splitting up the book into the two sections is very
smart and what is required so that we can give a user a quick overview
of everything, keeping in mind that they don't care about a lot of
advanced topics. For
