= Summary =

Gather and confirm ideas on additions and updates for the Server Guide during the Ubuntu 8.10 release cycle.

= Rationale =

A significant amount of problems with any computer system can be solved with good documentation.  To that end having relevant and up to date documentation for the Ubuntu Server Edition is a worthwhile venture.

= Use Cases =

Documentation shipped with Ubuntu Server Edition in the ubuntu-serverguide package.  Also, the content is available on the help.ubuntu.com web site.

= Design =

Currently the Ubuntu Server Guide is drafted in DocBook XML files.  There are also corresponding pages in the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/|Community Wiki]] related to topics in the guide.

= Implementation =

Confirm or add to the proposed list of ideas gathered on the ServerTeam/IdeaPool page.  Then document the confirmed subjects in DocBook format.  Also, updating any relevant pages in the community wiki.
