> Screenshots add to the maintenance burden, and the desktop guide only
contains a few screenshots. We simply don't have the resources to
include screenshots everywhere.

This is very unfortunate, because people read visual information several
magnitudes times faster. I sense three problem with the maintenance of
screens:

1. new versions of software are released
2. referenced software getting replaced with alternatives
3. no place to upload screens

Replacing old screens is not needed - just a link needs to be updated.


The solution to this problem is to augment docs with some 
https://screens.ubuntu.com/ CDN where people with Ubuntu logins can upload and 
review screens for software distributed with Ubuntu. Making this CDN available 
will also allow people to implement search for bug targets using screens shots.
