I totally agree. It's great that other people are keen on doing this 
too. I am glad that it's not a one-man-band effort. It also helps to 
cement the community if we work together on something like this (IMO).

I really liked it. I added it to http://quickones.org/ and whilst I 
appreciate that's in no way an official site, don't forget that all the 
content produced so far is released under a free license. So in the 
event that an official site is made we can just transfer the content.

Yeah, I'm no KDE user, so this is fantastic to have someone tackle 
Kubuntu. Next we need edubuntu and xubuntu :)

Cheers,
