== Release Note ==

 * New IRC section.
 * New Jabber section.
 * New Nagios section.

== 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. 

== Unresolved issues ==
