Possibly create a free-standing topic based structure for Edubuntu just like 
we do with Kubuntu. However, a majority of the help we can build from the 
Ubuntu stuff.

There you got me, you guys know more about Yelp and it's potential and/or 
limitations.

I don't think having Edubuntu docs depend on Ubuntu docs would be good either. 
Not only space, but the whole Firefox front page is crazy how it works and 
very tempermental when you start messing with debian/postinst and 
update-alternatives.

I think that building it like the Kubuntu docs have been built would be a 
decent solution unless someone comes up with something better. In the mean 
time, let's see what everyone has to say. Thanks Matthew for starting up the 
discussion!
