== Summary ==

Gather and confirm ideas on additions and updates for the Server Guide during the Ubuntu 9.04 release cycle.

The ubuntu-serverguide package will include more information.  Updated and Additional sections:
 * Apache section updated, and integrated better with new LAMP Applications section.

(Will need to be updated depending on which sections make it in before SF).

It is mandatory.

== 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.

== Assumptions ==

Server admins are reading the Server Guide.

== Design ==

Currently the Ubuntu Server Guide is drafted in DocBook XML files. There are also corresponding pages in the 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.
