Request for comments about the Ubuntu Signpost

[Andrew Sayers]

In response to the growing number of misplaced questions in the Ubuntu 
community, a few of us have been putting together the "Ubuntu Signpost" 
- sort of a cross between a flowchart and a FAQ, attached to an IRC 
channel.  The signpost itself is at:

	https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Signpost

The idea is that people will click through the questions or browse the 
answers.  If the signpost can't point them in the right direction, they 
can ask in #ubuntu-signpost or the discussion page, and the answer will 
be fed back into the page for the next guy.


As well as general comments, I'd like to ask two specific things:


* What can the signpost do for the doc team?

We've made "how to contribute to documentation" fairly prominent, but 
are there any other misplaced questions the team often deals with?



* Does anyone mind the signpost invading help.ubuntu.com/community?

The signpost serves the same purpose as everything between "Getting 
Help" and "Can't Find What You're Looking For?" on the community front 
page.  We'd like to remove those sections and <<Include>> the signpost 
instead.  All of the content from those sections has already been merged 
in except for HowToGetHelp, which would need to be split across several 
pages.
