| I personally think that Sceencasts are a great way of documenting software. Therefore, I've created a Screencast called "Quick Tour of Xubuntu" in Flash, which may be found [http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/xubuntu-flash-quick-tour.html here]. Also check out Self:Xubuntu/ScreencastHowto to learn how to make your own. | == Docbook editor == The Docbook editors convert the written documentation into the [[http://www.docbook.org/|Docbook]] syntax. You don't need any writing skills, but you need to have some technical skills. We're also hoping that the Docbook editors are willing to contribute for a longer period of time than just the Quantal cycle, but it's not a hard requirement. |
