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
Current Focus
System documentation for the 9.10 release is currently under active development. You can view the Roadmap to see our current status and deadlines, and the Assignments page to see individual section responsibilities.
Contributing
There are a number of ways to contribute to Xubuntu documentation. Xubuntu documentors can work on the system documentation, the Xubuntu team wiki pages, release announcements and notes, or the Xubuntu website. You do not need to know how to program to assist with the documentation, but it is helpful to have good writing skills.
The best way to start your involvement is to join the Ubuntu Documentation Students team on Launchpad, and then introduce yourself on the Ubuntu documentation team mailing list. From there, a member of the documentation team will contact you to help get you started!
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, review the Documentation Team's primary wiki page and getting started page.
Instructions on how to download and work with the system documentation code is found on the Documentation Team's repository page. All patches should be provided against the latest repository.
Wiki Pages
Information about the Xubuntu Project Wiki documentation may be found here.
Community Documentation
The current community wiki documentation is featured here
Release Announcements & Notes
The Xubuntu documentation team prepares release announcements in advance of Xubuntu development and final releases. Release announcements
Making Suggestions
If you don't feel like learning about the technical stuff (bazaar, DocBook, writing patches), you may also simply read the 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 Xubuntu Documentation Team was created on launchpad.
Regarding bugs, you can use the following links to:
See the list of bugs assigned to this team
Report a bug in the documentation
Review the 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 (8.04, 9.10, 10.04, 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 html builds of the documentation (which are refreshed nightly), or (for the more adventurous) the source code on Launchpad.
Alternative Documentation
Some people like screencasts as a way of documenting software. There is a "Quick Tour of Xubuntu 6.06" in Flash, which may be found here. Also, check out the Screencast HowTo, or head over to the Screencast Team to learn how to make your own.
