Hi everyone!
We need your help in fixing a heap of small bugs in "Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04" before the writing freeze next week, on the 31st. We have made it nice and easy for you to download the PDF, read as little or as much as you like, and then submit your feedback through a custom form that we've created.
We'll do all the hard work going through your reports and triaging them, then submitting them as bugs in Launchpad and subsequently fixing them before the 31st. We want to make it easy for you lads and ladettes to get involved and have your say, because our project cares about community input and wants to get as many people involved as possible!
Click here (http://ubuntu-manual.org/ubuntu-manual-draft.pdf) to download the draft PDF.
Then you'll need to read through the manual and look for:
Spelling and grammar mistakes
Factual errors
Missing references
Formatting errors
Sentences that don't make sense
Inconsistencies in wording
Somewhere where you think a screenshot is needed and there isn't a placeholder already
Start at a random place in the manual and work backwards or forwards. We don't want everyone starting at the prologue and getting a tonne of bugs about the prologue but none for Chapter 9, for example.
Each time you find any of the above, jump on over to http://ubuntu-manual.org/?bugs and fill out the form. It's as easy as that!

The draft PDF version hosted on our build server (http://builds.ubuntu-manual.org) gets compiled and updated once a day at exactly 0000 UTC, so if you want to see whether your bugs have been fixed, make sure you come back here and grab the latest version by hitting the download button again. We have plans for a PPA in the future so you don't have to keep downloading it.
Oh and please remember, this is still the alpha version of the manual and we expect there to be a tonne of bugs, hence why we need your help to iron them out!
For more information and some pretty pictures see here (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/ubuntu-manual-project-needs-you.html), here (http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=2657) or here. (http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/the-ubuntu-manual-project-needs-you/)
Thanks a bunch!
