Introduction

The Xubuntu Documentation project consists of:

• The Xubuntu system documentation
• The Xubuntu project wiki (Xubuntu development documentation)
• Community wiki documentation (community-created end-user support documentation)
• Release announcements and release notes

Contributing

Please help! There are a number of ways to contribute to Xubuntu documentation.

System Documentation

The Xubuntu system documentation consists of both a browser start-page and a complete set of topic-based help. To contribute to the documentation project, just review the Documentation Team's primary [:DocumentationTeam:wiki page], and then [:DocumentationTeam/GettingStarted:get started].

Instructions on how to download and work with the system documentation code is found on the Documentation Team's [:DocumentationTeam/Repository:repository] page. All patches should be provided against the latest repository.

Wiki Pages

Information about the Xubuntu Project Wiki documentation may be found [:Xubuntu/Documentation/here].

Community Documentation

The current community wiki documentation is featured [https://help.ubuntu.com/community here]

Release Announcements & Notes

The Xubuntu documentation team (sometimes) prepares release announcements and release notes in advance of Xubuntu development and final releases. Help us write them!

Making Suggestions

If you don't feel like learning about the technical stuff (bazaar, DocBook, writing patches), you may also simply read the [http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu draft builds] of the documentation, and then send texts, ideas & suggestions to either ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com or xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com.

Documentation Bugs

To keep track of issues with the documentation, a [https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-doc/ Xubuntu Documentation Team] was created on launchpad.

Regarding bugs, you can use the following links to:

• See the list of [https://bugs.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-doc/+assignedbugs bugs assigned to this team]

• Report [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bugs a bug] in the documentation

• Review the [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/ bugs filed against the xubuntu-docs] package

When reporting bugs in finalized, released versions of the Xubuntu documentation, please be sure to reference the version of Xubuntu that you are using (7.04, 7.10, 8.04, etc.).

When reporting bugs in development versions of the Xubuntu documentation, please check to make sure that the documentation problem you are reporting has not already been fixed. To do so, you can reference the most recent [http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu html builds] of the documentation (which are refreshed nightly), or (for the more adventurous) the [https://code.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/ source code] on Launchpad.

Alternative Documentation

Some people like screencasts are a way of documenting software. There is a "Quick Tour of Xubuntu 6.06" in Flash, which may be found [http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/xubuntu-flash-quick-tour.html here]. Also, check out the [:Xubuntu/ScreencastHowto:Screencast HowTo], or head over to the [:ScreencastTeam:Screencast Team] to learn how to make your own.
