Date for release of 12.04 ubuntu-docs

[Doug Smythies]

Hi,

I see that the 12.04 stuff is now available as a link from
https://help.ubuntu.com/ .

I also noticed that the new format seems to auto break lines within a
<screen> box that would otherwise violate the box boundary.
The previous format did not do that, and we spent a lot of time fixing most
of the box boundary violations on the serverguide (which is still required
for the PDF anyhow).
Example 1: 2nd line of 1st screen box on:
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/configuration.html
Example 2: find "kc6eSnTLnLxF8u0t3e56EukFeqJ" on:
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/reporting-bugs.html
I am just saying is all. For myself the take away is to check that an auto
line break is in a logical spot that doesn't add confusion. The HTML
documents look better without the <screen box> border violations.

(At the risk of being ridiculed for using it:) If one views the serverguide
HTML pages with Microsoft Internet Explorer, every page complains of secure
and non-secure content and blocks unsecure content, with an option to show
all content for that page. The desktop html pages do not have this issue (I
only looked at a few). (I might have time later today or later this week to
try to identify the root cause for this.)

I guess it doesn't matter much, but there are some changes in formats
between the new look and the one we did all of our work on. Generally (I
certainly did not look at all of them) bullet point lists have become
numbered lists. The serverguide PDF is still has bullet point lists, so the
documents deviate from each other (which they do somewhat anyhow).

You mean https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ ? It's not linked yet at
help.ubuntu.com since there are a few more details we're working on.
Specifically, Matthew and I are working on updating the theme to the new
Ubuntu branding.

I think we can still get help.ubuntu.com ready by Thursday or Friday.
I'll post again tonight with a bit more detail about the current status.
