I am traveling too right now, so I have very sparse internet access.
Moreover my timezone (Japan) and the fact that the deadline is very
inaccurate (26th, midnight? Before? In which timezone?), I just
submitted the project now to be sure and not miss the deadline. Sorry
for not waiting for you for putting an outline together. But as Mario
Behling said on the thread, we can refine the project description
later.

Also I am not sure to have understood if you wish to participate, or
are more of an organizer (if I understood correctly Elisa's email,
which said you represented FLOSS Manuals). So I am not going to add
you in the participant list. But if I got it wrong, I guess you can
submit as individual and say you are a last minute participant to this
project.
I named the group/project "FLOSS Media Production", explaining this is
a placeholder name regrouping several people.

Regards,

Jehan
