Helping new ubuntu phone users

Hello everyone! Daniel recently announced the creation of a new 'Help' 
application for ubuntu touch. The app is an attempt to help share 
knowledge about the phone into a handy app, usable from the phone 
itself. The application itself is being developed on launchpad, check 
out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-devices-help.

Daniel has done the initial scaffolding work to make the app work, but 
what we need now is content! Rather than have everyone rush and branch 
the project, creating dozens of merge proposals for new things, we're 
going to use an etherpad for the initial content merge. The pad is 
setup, http://pad.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHelpAppContent, and has been 
preseeded with questions. Please go and add questions and answers to the 
pad. We need your help in generating some common questions and answers 
that would be helpful for new users to the phone. No syntax or coding 
required; just write out questions and answer them! We'll do the dirty 
work of assembling it all later.

Alternatively, if you want to hack on the app itself, we would 
appreciate any HTML5 / design gurus input for making the app itself 
present this in an easier to understand way. Patches welcome!

Feel free to ping dholbach on IRC (or even me, balloons, if you'd like) 
if you have any questions or need some help getting started.

Thanks everyone,

Nicholas
