Ubuntu Documentation - Getting Started

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Doug,

With looking at the header page [1] Could I suggest that it be made along
the lines of [2] This then gives a couple of sentences to explain what each
section is about? ( I can always go and ask the art people for an
over-sized graphic, should it be the wish of the team). As an entry page,
it explains nothing of what the docs team does.

Regards,

Phill.
