Ubuntu Manual, Docs Team and Learning project collaboration
This session is to discuss ways in which the Ubuntu Manual Project, The Ubuntu Documentation Team and the Ubuntu Community Learning Project can work together to produce a wide range of quality, focused educational materials for Ubuntu users.
As well as discussing collaborative opportunities, we will be talking about the actual implementation of sharing content, what tools/languages we will need to use and outlining a course of action for the Maverick release and beyond.

Whiteboard
== Activities ==
* Docs team:
* ubuntu-docs
* help.ubuntu.com
* Learning Materials project
* Classroom course material writing
* Ubuntu Manual team
* The Ubuntu Manual
== Idea ==
* single pool of content in common format
* different teams pull from this pool
* common format has to support all output (delivery) formats (going with whatever the doc team goes with, probably Mallard)
- localization (text and images) is a requirement
- ease of editing is critical for contributors
