Ubuntu Wiki

The current Feature tour is here http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/

which does a nice job of showing off the features of Ubuntu 8.04 on desktop. There is no need to throw all this out

Some points that should be incorporated in the design

• The Tour should be modular - so bits can be added and removed as needed without having to take down the entire tour and individuals can look after each module
• It should feature applications in standard Ubuntu that a newbie should expect to get

• It should have multimedia - http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese/ is a great tool for this

• Localisation would be AWESOME
• The audience is Windows users; they should not be addressed directly but they should find the information they are looking for and be convinced to give Ubuntu a try.

How the layout will work

The right column will have list of category of Ubuntu features, such as Internet, Games, Chat and so on. when a user clicks on a category it will update the descriptions and screen shots. I personal think that ever screen shot should have a bullet explaining the feature about that software that is displayed in the screen shot.

Then when a user mouses over or clicks on a screen shot it should update the screen shot display with the graphic and highlight the bullet that is describing it in the description section.

I personally think we need this page to be very sexy so when some one comes to the site using windows or mac they really get the WOW Effect.
