Ubuntu Help Center

[Brian Vidal Castillo]

Right, i've forgotten the blueprint, I will open it now.

The kind of assistance is about all the ares of the project, from 
tunneling screencast, wiki documentation or parsers (man, docbook, etc.)

Also, having a team to work could agilize the development so, may say, 
it could be included in some recent release coffcofflucidcoffcoff.
