Right I'm going to jump right in here and tell you what I think. We cannot repeat the word "Ubuntu" twice in the same title/subtitle - it looks sloppy. We cannot actually say the words "Lucid Lynx" on the front page anywhere - this is just the development name, and Canonical don't use it outside o

I agree with Thorsten's and Wendy's assessments: I prefer "Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04." "The Ubuntu Manual" sounds comprehensive, detailed, and technical. I could see the name attracting a lot of non-beginner users who would then be disappointed at what they found. The name also invites s

I think that Thomas Cantara's feedback is great. In fact, I support it. Vish, I don't quite understand what you are saying about alphas and betas; as I read the wiki page you linked us to, I couldn't find a "only for use with alpha and beta releases of Ubuntu" warning. The words aren't even prese

Having Ubuntu twice in the title seems redundant (as is this comment - I know that others have made the same observation), so why not try something like "The Ubuntu Manual: Getting Started with Lucid Lynx?" I think that meets many of the objectives of the title, and as subsequent versions of the

Id say from my perspective. "The Ubuntu Manual: Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04" At least something with manual in it. Because it is a manual and its no point trying to avoid the word manual if it is a manual. No matter what you call it it will still be a manual. Maybee "Guide" also is a

I'm also biased. I like "Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04" for the following reasons *This is not the ONLY Ubuntu documentation that is being produced (which I didn't understand until I got on the project). Calling this book "The Ubuntu Manual" implies that this is all the documentation there is,

Hi! So we couldn't decide on a title on the last meeting. Here are the candidates and arguments. Note that I'm biased, so add or argue points if you can ;) What should the title be? = "The Ubuntu Manual: A Beginner's Guide" "The Ubuntu 10.04 Manual: A Beginner's Guide"
