The system manual is not enough people need access to a detailed guide  
Written by somethinginteresting the 14 Jul 10 at 11:41. Global category: Documentation. New
I think the Ubuntu manual from the manual project (http://ubuntu-manual.org/) should be included with Ubuntu by default. It is extremely useful for new users and having it automatically on the desktop on first boot would be very helpful.

Solution #1: Downloaded manual for users chosen language during install
Written by somethinginteresting the 14 Jul 10 at 11:41.
Given the need for language specific guides the manual for the users selected language could be downloaded prior to install completion or after when internet is available.

Integrate a wiki with the Help system  
Written by tchalvakspam the 7 Jan 09 at 03:22. Related project: wiki.ubuntu.com. New
Wikipedia is one of the most powerful sites on the web for it's ease of access and the simplicity of contribution.

Ubuntu could use the wiki format to be integrated with its help system.

Each help topic/page could have a link to the help wiki, (ubuntu.wiki.com, perhaps) and as articles became more and more solid, the information in them could probably be periodically ported back to the distro's help system itself.

'how to use Ubuntu' for over-50 newbies  
Written by nitrofurano the 12 Sep 08 at 20:29. Related project: ubuntu.com. New
It's exciting there are people writing documentations and books for helping over-50 years-old people about how to use computers - but shame on their authors focusing this documentation on Windows Vista and Windows XP...

I think it's very important any effort on reverting this situation, trying or helping on writing documentation and books helping over-50 users about how to use Ubuntu and Gnu-Linux, not XP or Vista...
