Thank you so much David. We all know how busy you are, but your input is very
much needed for NewDocs.
Geoff, I'll let you comment on these, since you pointed out the other
possibilities to begin with.
Svetlana, do you have any input as well? I'm guessing you're still getting your
bearings in regards to what we're doing, but I know you have the knowledge to
help make NewDocs the easy to use, up to date work tool we're aiming for.
Best wishes,
Leigh

Hi team.
On 28 January 2014 15:01, Leigh Tate < [email protected] > wrote:
Since we're making some progress on "Listing some Menu Selections in
CAPITALS?," I thought I'd go ahead and shoot this out to you all for feedback in
case we want to post it first to our Forum's wiki thread. Also I wanted to mention that
we have quite a winter storm headed our way and that if for some reason you don't hear
from me for awhile, it may be because our electricity is out.
Anyway, here are my findings for the NewDocs D page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/D . I checked for outdated and tagged pages,
for those addressing versions of Ubuntu no longer supported, and for anything
else that might need to be addressed. Below is what I found, plus I have
questions which I will pose first.
QUESTIONS:
Some are links to websites rather than wiki help pages. For example,
- all of the Debian pages
- Debugging Dpkg problems http://shearer.org/Debugging_Dpkg_Problems
- Ubuntu Design Blog http://design.canonical.com/
- Devices http://www.ubuntu.com/phone (acutally "Ubuntu on phones")
1. Should they be left on the D page or moved to Helpful Links
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Links ?
2. Do we need the last two at all since they have nothing to do with help?
I agree with your reasoning, Leigh. The Debugging Dpkg problems
http://shearer.org/Debugging_Dpkg_Problems should be moved to the Helpful
Links https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Links pages.
The other two are kind of tricky, if we take Geoff's arguments into account, I
can see a reason for keeping them, but to be honest I'm with Leigh on this and
I think they should be dropped completely from NewDocs since they're not at
related to NewDocs's aim. Perhaps the team could vote on a final decision.
Below are pages that are candidates to be moved to ToBeReviewed
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed unless anyone thinks otherwise
for any of them.

DynamicMultiMonitor https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicMultiMonitor
(last edited 2011-10-14)
Besides the DeletingFiles https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DeletingFiles
page, which I think should be kept because its contents are correct since there
wasn't no changes in those CLI commands, all the others should be moved to
ToBeReviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed .
TAGGED PAGES:
"this page does not exist yet"
DebianImportFreeze https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebianImportFreeze
DownThemAll https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DownThemAll
"needs expansion"
DigitalCameraHowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DigitalCameraHowTo
"This page does not reach the quality of the UserDocumentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation series of index pages, but contains
useful information"
DVDAuthoring https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring (also probably
outdated - last edited 2010-06-05)
Agree on all. Like Geoff I also don't have the slightest idea from where that
Debian page come from.
UBUNTU VERSIONS NO LONGER SUPPORTED: none, but see below.
I recommend removing the following two pages altogether:
Debugging Sound Problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
- redirects to SoundTroubleshooting
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems
which advises the info is largely outdated.
DRBD https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DRBD (blank page last edited
2010-03-09). This could be moved toToBeReviewed
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed if we think someone might do
something with it.
Yes, Leigh. No doubts about those, also.
Cheers,
David

Hi Leigh,
My adventurous spirit has now been suitably subdued - I am all for
David's suggestions other than I still think that -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems should still be
replaced with -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
Cheers,
Geoff.
