<div>Yeah, I don't really see a clear reason to include the server docs <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">as part of the Xubuntu docs</span>. I'd be happy to include a link to the 8.04 server documentation on <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">help.ubuntu.com</a>. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">An additional option would be to instruct users to install yelp and the ubuntu-doc package, and to use yelp to navigate to the server section.<span> </span>[There isn't a separate ubuntu-server-doc repository, they are included as part of the regular ubuntu-doc package.]<span> </span>I could provide a list of topics that the server docs include.<span> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span></span></span> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span></span>That seems like a reasonable approach to me – not including the server docs (because they don't pertain to the typical desktop user), but listing what topics they cover, and showing the user how to access them if they would like to use them.</span></div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I've tested removing the folder that contains the server documentation, and the .xml files that validated before I removed the folder still validate (the folder also contained some generic ubuntu-doc libs and entity (ent) files).<span> </span>I'm going to hold onto that folder until the docs are finished, though . . . just in case.</span></p>
