Hi Will, thanks for your reply. So you think it's fine to document points 1, 2, and 3 above in the 17.04 desktop help? The reason I'm asking is that once Ubuntu 17.04 is released the 17.04 desktop help is basically available, without corrections, to the world for the (short) life of Ubuntu 17.04. So we don't want to document things that may be changed soon after they're documented.
I think documenting points 1, 2, and 3 briefly should be straightforward. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658785 Title: Snap documentation in 17.04? Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Do we say anything about snaps in the 17.04 desktop help and if so what do we say? If snaps are experimental and subject to change then perhaps we should say nothing? Below I give some points about snaps worth thinking about (as regards how we document them): The logon to Ubuntu One in Ubuntu Software when one tries to install a snap will surely create confusion. I saw one example on the #ubuntu channel where people were confused by it (with good reason in my opinion). At present you don't have to logon to Ubuntu One if you install a snap from the command line. Why are Ubuntu Software and the command line treated differently in this respect? I don't know much about snaps but in the manual for the snap command there are options to buy a snap and log on to the snap store. I would imagine that at present there are no snaps that one has to pay for - but there will be soon? Snaps are visible in the Disks application as "devices". This is very confusing in my opinion.
