[UCLP] "extra documentation library"

[Luke-Jennings]

Hello all,

Along with the quickshot team I was asked to design/make a program for
the manual project that would go into mavrick so people could to sudo
apt-get install ubuntu-manual . Then fetch the latest version of the
manual in their language. In our latest meeting it was discussed that
quick start guides would be made along with the doc team. 

Due to uni work I have not had proper time to look into the roll of the
learning team but my current understanding is that you produce
documentation for people to use in classrooms and learning events.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I also thought about the roll of the learning team and thought this idea
[1] could be developed to work with learning team material as well. The
idea is very rough and is the very first draft, I will say I am not the
best as drawing.

If you look at the picture you will see that down the left you have
section/topics in which you can use to filter the number of files that
you see. In the right you see a preview image of the cover a little
description and size and a choice of languages if available.

The user selects the file and clicks download and the file is downloaded
on to the folder they have chosen. Once it is downloaded it can be
opened using their favourite/default viewer for that type of document.

One particular use case that I see is on events people could refer to
particular "lessons" for all the documents they need for that session.
Also the option to search through the available documents could be a
possibility.


Every time I think about it the more complex the program gets, I would
like to understand if the team sees there being a use for a program such
as this. I see this as an "extra documentation library" (I have no real
name yet), any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. 


Many Thanks

Luke Jennings
