I believe this might be a little over the top for new users. Just saying..

Why is that?
Just wondering.

There is serious effort being made to redeem the lack of a clean and
comprehensive documentation for Ubuntu Studio. This work should be done
before the release of Ubuntu Studio 11.10. Help is appreciated.

The goal of the documentation aught to be make it as simple as possible
for the user to learn how to use the system for multimedia tasks.

If you write something up, I will be happy to help with editing, even
though my English may not be that much better than yours.
