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
