Hi Jim, It is good that you mention this. In this spreadsheet [1] you find up-to-date information on authors and editors. I did not get a lot of response on my call for editors on our mailing list, so now we will call for editors through other media. In the meantime, you may proofread/review ch

Hi Jim, Thank you for merging the topic into the main file. I have a question though. Do you think we should have HUD as a separate section in the chapter? The way it has been implemented in the chapter, it looks like HUD is a feature of Dash, which is not correct. HUD is a completely different ap

Thanks! This is exactly what I was asking about! Go ahead and put me down to edit the dash/search bar/browsing section (truth be told...with the exception of screenshots throughout the entire chapter, I've done more editing than authoring). Also, put me down as editor for *reviewing/editing photo

It is entirely possible this is what happened. Many screenshots were missing in chapter two (and still are, but I've already committed to getting the rest of the shots up by Wednesday). I simply followed the file names as prescribed in the "missing screenshot" box, grabbed the screenshot, named t

I'll get Alt+F2 in there in the next rev. Thanks. With regards to where HUD should go. Yea...I struggled with this one, too. It has the same type of capability as the Dash (users enter search string, suggestions appear), but the HUD is MUCH more global in reach than just the desktop and it appl

What happened is this. On May 26 I added screenshots to the Nautilus section, and pushed them to revision 49 "Screenshots added to section Nautilus". On May 28 you added screenshots to chapter 2, two of them being SystemSettings.png and nautilus-home.png, which I had also done in revision 49. T

Hi Jim, I think HUD is a part of Unity but not Dash. HUD is not available in gnome 2 or Kubuntu. So its best fitted in second chapter but with a separate heading. That's my take on HUD. Feel free to discuss. Regards, *Sayantan Das* -- Use Linux. Be free ! http:
