AntiVirus pages?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I've never heard of the upstream documentation at Gnome.  That is not a good 
argument for not using it tho!  I think we should do more to promote it and link 
to it rather than have duplicated pages downstream at Ubuntu-specific 
documentation.  


Since Wikipedia can't have sub-pages i think the best answer is either to have a 
sub-page in Ubuntu's Community Documentation or in Gnome's.  I would use 
Ubuntu's because i haven't had chance to explore Gnome's handling of AntiVirus 
pages yet.  


I guess a LOT of Ubuntu's current stuff needs to be kicked upstream to Gnome 
quite soon now that we have switched to Unity.  The LTSes still need 
documentation for Gnome and it might help the wider gnu&linux community too.  


Thanks for the swift reply and info.
Rregards from
Tom :)

No, Wikipedia does not use subpages in the main address space. Nor are
install directions for Linux appropriate in the main article.

For your goal of getting documentation out to more distros, you could
submit content to gnome-user-guide, which is the default help for
Gnome (and nearly all of the content there is used in Ubuntu's
installed help too). The quality threshold (content, formatting,
style, etc.) for Gnome upstream help is quite a bit higher than for
Ubuntu's community help wiki.
