Hi all,

I posted this to the doc team list and translator list,
But someone suggested I post it here also:

In a few days help.ubuntu.com will be updated with
a point release of the 18.04 Serverguide.

Only the US-English version will be published.

Why?

It is likely that for the 20.04 LTS release, the Serverguide
source code will be changed to git based version control and 
some sort of markup language, moving away from docbook and the
current workflow. Currently, translations are not part of the new
project.

For the Serverguide, all of our feedback has been that other
languages are not needed. The objective here is to avoid a
big issue when these changes occur for 20.04 by forcing feedback
now, if someone really cares and notices.

... Doug
