Ubuntu Documenation Team Plans for the DapperDrake Release

Whist there are many help related issues that can be discussed, ultimately the DocumentationTeam need to make and finalise plans for the DapperDrake release. This is more aimed at discussing our existing documentation, other topics should be placed on ["UbuntuBelowZero/BOFs"].

  • Comment - since only one ubuntu-doc member will be at UBZ, these issues are best discussed at [:DocteamMeetingAgenda:docteam meetings] or on the mailing list (MatthewEast)

Existing Documents

The following documents are already existing within the Documentation Project. We should discuss the future direction we want to take with these documents and any problems we faced during the last development cycle.

QuickTour

Once called the QuickGuide, it was decided a Quick Tour of Ubuntu for prospective users would be more helpful. For more information see ["QuickGuide"].

FAQGuide and UserGuide

A new document included in the BreezyBadger release, also known as the Ubuntu 5.10 Starter Guide and created from ubuntuguide.org, the wiki and other places. For more information see ["FAQGuide"], http://ubuntu-doc.ath.cx/gnome/status/faq-report.html and ["FAQGuideReSpec"].

The documentation team has decided to split the FAQGuide into a Desktop Starter Guide and a Server Starter Guide. This work will also include using the existing but not yet finished UserGuide, and possibly fazing out the old UserGuide. For more information see DesktopGuide and ServerGuide, also see DocteamProjects.
