The article looks good, and it would certainly find a home on the wiki.
However, in its current state it probably wouldn't be suitable for
inclusion with the live CD, for a couple of reasons:

 * It has several screenshots, which should be localised if they are to
be included in the official documentation. This is likely to take up a
lot of space on the CD, and might inconvenience the translators.
 * It doesn't follow the Style Guide [1] and so might look out-of-place
next to the other documentation.

These concerns are hardly insurmountable though, and with a few
modifications the document would be suitable for inclusion.

Please let us know how you'd like to proceed, and we'll be happy to help
out.

Thanks,

Phil
