**XO / Sugar Book Sprint**

This week in Austin, Texas a team of writers are gathering together to
immerse themselves in a one week intensive documentation jam.

The purpose of the Book Sprint is to produce documentation in 1 week to
support the forthcoming 2008 roll-out off the OLPC G1G1. The team in
Austin consists of members of FLOSS Manuals (Adam Hyde, Anne Gentle),
OLPC (Adam Holt), Sugar (David Farning, Walter Bender), and the Austin
XO Users Group, and YOU! We have set up the online tools so you too can
contribute!  To make a contribution please do the following :

There are several manuals planned to be finished by the end of the week
(August 29) including a Sugar manual, an XO manual, and 5 Sugar

Its as simple as that.
