Hi Benjamin, It is a sad day for the Ubuntu Manual Project as the founder has to step down due to time constraints. It was because of you, a lot of us managed to get a new role in an exciting project apart from our mundane jobs. Thank you so much for starting this project and giving us a chance to work alongside you. Wish you good luck for your future endeavorers . I , however, hope that you will still be a part of the project and give us valuable input .
