As for the Switching guide on the wiki, I don't see its purpose and would prefer it linked to the official guide but I think that that should be discussed on the list because I'm bound to say the official one is better, lol.

On the Home page for the community docs, we have: * [[SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows|Switching from Windows]] * [[SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX|Switching from Mac OS X]] * [[SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux|Switching from another Linux distribution]] Do we want to remove the article "SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows" and set it up as a redirect to the guide instead? Do we have official guides for switching from Mac or Linux? Until I hear otherwise, I've left the Mac and Linux ones in, but replaced the Windows one. Also, do we want to redirect: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes The same is true of the Server Guides. Note: Unless there is a way to set up a macro, these redirects would have to be modified with each new version. That is the only flaw that I can see. Finally, for everyone else, we probably want to consider cleaning up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToGetHelp Marc K.
