[edit] Introduction

The aim is to collect a set of useful documents for Australians and Australian residents, managed by the Ubuntu-Au team, which can be easily downloaded in a 'ubuntu-au' package.

This may include:

• documents
• scripts to download loading documents from the internet
• links to online documentation

This information will be provided in 'free' and 'open' formats, and where possible, under a free licence. (This may not be currently possible with some Government documentation.)

I am looking for suggestions on what additional information could be added to this list. Please be constructive.
