Hi guys, We've been discussing Mallard quite heavily on the Ubuntu Docs list over the past week. One issue that came up (via Kyle Nitzsche, see his original message here [1]) is that people could install their own pages in the same directory as the official Ubuntu documentation.
In some situations this would be useful, for example when a different default browser is chosen. The potential for misuse is massive, though; third-party developers could pretty much take over the official docs if they wanted to, putting links to their content in irrelevant places. This would be a nightmare for users. Is there any way of restricting what can link in to certain documents? One thought I had was that restrictions could optionally be made by publisher, and each publisher could digitally-sign their documents. This seems a bit complicated, though.
