Hello,

I have recently joined Xubuntu documentation team, and I have a few basic
questions to ask.

Xubuntu documentation has been recently overwritten with Ubuntu
documentation, since Xubuntu documentation for gutsy will be based on
current Ubuntu documentation. So we are currently working on the same stuff.

As I was familiarizing myself with the way the documentation is structured I
noticed that if I open, say, index.xml in yelp, the links to the chapters
wouldn't work, pointing to .html files instead. I am aware that makefiles
finally render .html files from the docbook trunk so my first question is:
Should documentation in .xml be usable for an end-user as well? Or does the
end user get just the compiled output in the form of .html files and docbook
is just a smart way for us to manage and store the documentation?

Regards,
Jan M.
