I assume they don't add them manually?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Additionally, would we consider unofficial community docs (ala the Ubuntu Community help pages [3])?  Such a section would invite participation from Xubuntu bloggers and hackers (and hacker/bloggers) who are already writing up these how-to's on their blogs. </blockquote><div><br>Sounds cool, would this be review-based or should bloggers be able to add their own guides? <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Contributions might include items like putting compiz-fusion on Xubuntu, and other helpful tips.  These contributions may eventually wind up as part of the official docs. </blockquote><div><br>Wow, I'd love a guide on setting up Compiz Fusion :P<br><br>Anyway, I suppose we could also require a license on those posts? There is already a lot of Creative Commons material available, which could be used right away. However, since adding a guide to <a href="http://Xubuntu.org">Xubuntu.org</a> will also increase visibility of the blog of the original author I think it'd be fair enough to require all featured guides to be CC-licensed so we can be sure we avoid any legal problems. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I expect some discussion about the community docs idea - I certainly wouldn't want to duplicate material from the unofficial ubuntu docs' wiki pages.  I hope that the official docs could be placed up as part of the website, though. <br><br>I invite your comments.  Thanks,<br><br>Jim <br><br>[1] <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://help.ubuntu.com/</a><br>[2] <a href="http://kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/index/C/index.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/index/C/index.html</a>  with links to additional documentation here <a href="http://kubuntu.org/doc/index.php" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://kubuntu.org/doc/index.php</a><br> <br>[3] <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/</a></blockquote></div><br>Thanks,<br>-- <br>Vincent
