Google's just as likely to point you to wiki.ubuntu.com as it is to
point you to help.ubuntu.com.

If Ubuntu's got one big weakness, it's its *.ubuntu.com documentation
both in absolute terms and relative to other distributions. There
should be a desktop guide similar to the server guide, especially
since Ubuntu's supposed to be aimed at desktop switchers and there
should be better content and style quality control.
