Yes, i think it's a good idea but ubuntuguide is a unofficial
documentation. It could be reviewed by a ubuntu developer (anyone at
ubuntu-doc?) and some useful stuff from ubuntu wiki can be added.

With it packaged and being updated like ubuntu-calendar is, i guess
that it will be really useful for new users. Gaspar that started this
thread is a co-worker (re)starting his experience with GNU/Linux and
like many Ubuntu users need:
Centralized documentation (wiki is good on this but they need offline
and after install instructions) and good hardware support (Ubuntu did
his job here and the current problems are upstream and hardware
vendors only, imo).

Thanks,
