[Bug 859372] Re: wiki describes development, not user documentation

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

In June 2006, English Ubuntu help pages moved from wiki.ubuntu.com to
help.ubuntu.com, leaving the former exclusively for contributor
information. If anyone writes a help page on wiki.ubuntu.com, and a
member of the Documentation Team discovers it, they move it to
help.ubuntu.com.

I respectfully suggest that Ubuntu Deutschland eV make an equivalent
move with wiki.ubuntuusers.de. As long as they don't, German Ubuntu
users will get confused about what wiki.ubuntu.com is for, at no fault
of those writing on it.

I'll spare you the laundry list of specifications on wiki.ubuntu.com
that don't have "specs" in their URL. Suffice to say that adding it to
the URL of every specification would be a lot of work and linkrot, for
the sake of something which is a problem with ubuntuusers.de in the
first place.

Title:
  wiki describes development, not user documentation

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The main wiki page about Software Center (
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter ) seems to be all about
  planning and development, without much data that would be useful to
  end users.  Could this perhaps be re-organized, and some user
  documentation written?  Here is the specific request I got about it:

  [ISD Customer Support #5037]
  From: 	march at ubuntuusers.de

  Hello,
  I'm a little bit confused about the informations about the software-center in the official wiki. It contains many future options. The main thing I want to know is: how can I purchase software in detail, which payments are accepted (paypal ...), will I get a special deb://... for my sources to download software? Via Email or where will I get it? Can this software I purchased used in future releases of ubuntu too? Will there be a software-center for Kubuntu? It would be nice if you could give me detailled informations, because I want to add these missing informations to our official german wiki you can find here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Software-Center / http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntuusers.de%2FSoftware-Center

  Regards
  Marc
