I belive there is a Debian Users Manual downloadable at the following URL:
http://www.linuxpress.com
It should be noted however this is both available for a price and via download.
If it is downloaded it can only be used for personal use and it mainly covers
Debian 1.3

I will see about contacting Chad to see what the progress is or if it is still
underway. No need to split efforts on something of this magnitude.

I am willing to devote to the cause. I would like to see it because it needs
to be done. I have already been lobbying for a few volunteers so if/when
they are found they should end up in this discussion. Been telling them to
subscribe to debian-doc@lists.debian.org to pick up the thread. Not sure if
this belongs more in doc or publicity. Perhaps each different list could
have a different "job" in the overall topic. ie: doc does the HOWTO stuff and
publicity does the historical stuff (as well as accomplishments of debian)

I think through a communitave effort something could be agreed upon. :)
