That's correct.
Note that before the next DPN, I hope to have published a sample chapter
too, so that's also something more "concrete" that you can inform about.

And the other difference is that a DPN article is nothing like a dedicated
press release. It has not the same impact and while the latter clearly

Please use the English variant of this page:
http://www.ulule.com/debian-handbook/
Or even the link that contributes a part back to Debian:
http://debian-handbook.info/go/ulule-debian/
(cf http://debian-handbook.info/support-debian/)
Thank you Alexander for trying to find a solution acceptable by all
