Summary

Released with BreezyBadger was the Ubuntu 5.10 Starter Guide, otherwise known as the ["FAQGuide"]. For the DapperDrake release we have decided to split the Starter Guide into Desktop and Server variants. Work has already started on both documents, but this Spec is where we can plan the route we will take.

Rationale

Ubuntuguide.org first highlighted the fact such a guide needs to exist, and the Starter Guide has been quite popular in BreezyBadger. This split version, the Desktop Starter Guide, aims to just concentrate on the desktop using GUI utilities where possible.

Use cases

See the following examples:

  • Ubuntuguide.org
  • Yelp - Ubuntu 5.10 Starter Guide
  • help.ubuntu.com
  • For IRC/Forum/Mailing list users to point new user to when they ask questions

Scope
