Trusty branch/series now online

[Doug Smythies]

Liz, thanks for those notes.

Everyone please be aware, that your locally compiled
HTML Ubuntu DeskTop help docs are NOT a complete self
contained entity.

What do I mean?

Some links might not work, for example
the "legal" link at the bottom of every page. The file
legal.html only added when things are all put together
to create help.ubuntu.com, so you will not have it (it wouldn't
be at the right place, even if you did have it).

Some other links might take you to the real help.ubuntu.com,
instead of your local copy. If you continue to navigate, thereafter
you will be on the real help.ubuntu.com. (Happens to me all
the time, and then I get confused.)

... Doug

Haha, I can't count! So I'll mention here:

4. You may see some errors, but this is normal, the docs still should
have built ok in English.
