It is good to hear that we are going to get an update of 12.04. The
dates are fine with me. If every author/editor reads his or her
chapter(s), see [1], and make the necessary changes we will surely have
done the job by the end of August. If there are still questions on how
to upload to the Precise branch, please let us know.

Hello, everyone.
The following are proposed release schedules for a second edition of
Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 and Getting Started with Ubuntu
12.10.
There appear to be enough egregious errors and inconsistencies in
first edition of Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 to warrant a second
edition. (In the future, however, I'd prefer that we not have to issue
second editions.)
Please comment on the following proposed release schedules. Both
schedules have the final manual being released on the same day as
Ubuntu itself.

Editing phase (now – 20 Aug):

Proposed release schedule for Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.10
