hey Seth,

thanks for the update. I would like to be able to offer help for this
stage but I'm on the road the next weeks.

Good luck with it!

> The information on 8.2.0 resides here:
> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/8.2.0.  It is currently scheduled for some
> time toward the end of August.  Our goal at one point was to create
> documentation in time for this release.  Given the time constraints
> involved, I don't know if we will have perfect or complete
> documentation with enough lead time for that release.  Instead we
> should focus on producing the best documentation that we can, and
> creating the community, tools and processes for a true Documentation
> team between Sugarlabs, OLPC and FLOSSManuals.

> The first steps in this process include:
>
> * Reviewing all current documentation for inclusion or exclusion
> ** Partial lists reside (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manuals) and
> ** (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Documentation_Projects)
> * Importing worthwhile documentation
> * Sourcing and discovering image resources
> ** wiki.laptop.org/go/Resources
> ** Photographer: Mike Lee

> The page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manuals is likely going to be the
> home for the Open Task list and status of the project. I will spend
> today importing information from various other pages on the wiki and
> Factoring down the project down to individual tasks so we all may
> participate.
>
> Feel free to watch my progress and changes on that page, and provide
> feedback as I do so.  I should have another update for the
> Documentation Team by 2 PM EST.

> Thank you all so much in offering to participate,
