Introduction

Ubuntu Studio is the perfect platform on which to educate users about multimedia production using FLOSS tools, so we should find ways to do this as best and as efficiently as possible. Because we are a small team, we should try to use already existing documentation to as a high degree as possible, but use our website or some other means where to hilight it.

As for Ubuntu Studio specific workflows, it is quite important that we provide some of our own created documentation. Preferably as video tutorials (as that seems to be what most like to use to educate themselves lately, when it comes to practical education), but also using written documentation in cases where that is important.

About the Content

Organization

This feature definition will be drafted for a long period of time, and will illustrate documentation we need (which subjects, and under which category), and will fall under two types:

DE environment

Since we are aiming at becoming desktop agnostic, this is not our main field and where we should put our focus. But, at least we can link to existing documentation about different DEs.

For our default DE we should at least make sure that the user has access to documentation on installing software and how to change system settings.

Categories/Workflows

The documentation will be organized based on our defined workflows (which our metas are based on), currently audio, graphics and video, though we have a few under discussion, such as writing and game development.

And many other categories would fall under one of the already mentioned workflows as subcategories, such as photography, which falls under graphics and publishing which to some degree falls both under graphics and writing. Other possible subcategories would be things like multi tracking, mixing and mastering which all fall under audio, or even more specifically creating humanoid models using blender.

Including generic documentation for the purpose of education

We can also include more generic type of documentation, like the science of digital audio, or similar things.

Categories and subcategories for documentation

Add new categories here, also adding whether we should create it ourselves, or we should include it from outside sources (and in that case, you may also provide a link), and if it should be written or in video.
