Replace wiki.ubuntu.com with help.ubuntu.com/commmunity

[Dougie Richardson]

Hi Marc,

Bryce has a valid point, since the wiki is team oriented, any changes to the start page should perhaps be offered to a wider audience than our mailing list and this is something to consider for the future. Not everyone is subscribed to every page, especially when visiting other team's pages.

Could a change like this be mentioned in a banner or such like on the start page?

Regards,

Dougie
