<div dir="ltr">Liz why not make it more detailed and those that need something basic can filter out what they need, I say that the more in the documentation the better. alot of the software has lots of features and if you only provide basic features end users might not know if there is a better features of a particular piece of software that they should be using.</div> <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 12:18 AM, Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph <<a href="mailto:lyz@ubuntu.com" target="_blank">lyz@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Jonathan Aquilina <<a href="mailto:eagles051387@gmail.com">eagles051387@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > What is the difference between the wiki and the official documentation? > wouldnt it be better to grow the official documentation instead of maintain > two instances of documentation? There are 2 main differences: barrier to entry and maintainability. To contribute to the official documentation that's published at <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">help.ubuntu.com</a> you need to be familiar with bzr, mallard and more. We have also committed to keeping this official documentation up to date so it can be translated and ship with every release. This means making it somewhat simpler than we may like in some ways so it remains maintainable by the teams available. To contribute to the wiki-based documentation at <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/community" target="_blank">help.ubuntu.com/community</a> you only need to know some wiki markup - much easier! We also don't strictly make a commitment to keep this up to date or coordinate with the translations teams, so it's up to the wiki gurus who use tags and things to inform users of what is up to date, and let contributors know what needs work. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 <a href="http://www.princessleia.com" target="_blank">http://www.princessleia.com</a> -- ubuntu-doc mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc</a> </blockquote></div> <div> </div>-- Jonathan Aquilina </div>
