Would it not be a wise idea to open up the development of the doc to the 
marketing community/team as well? Placing it in their bzr branch might be 
confusing and hard to maintain stylesheets/makefiles though but the scope and 
intended audience of such a project is definitely wider than what's been 
discussed.

Additionally, from an Edubuntu perspective, it could be quite nice to see 
sections on switching from Windows based terminal servers to an LTSP 
environment...
