No, it's not. We have adopted this approach because (a) the Gnome 3 experience is closer to Unity than the Gnome 2 experience that our previous documentation reflected, and (b) Gnome upstream have produced some outstanding help over the last release which is much more user friendly and helpful than our own. The fact that the toolchain has been changed to improve the quality of the help being provided is a bonus, but it's not the driver. I don't know whether this approach will be possible for future releases. It will depend, among other things, on how far Ubuntu diverges from Gnome. The approach we've adopted won't result in perfect help but it is the best we can do with limited time, inclination and resources to write our own help from scratch. Even if we had done so, then I am confident that the approach taken by Gnome upstream is the right one which we would have mirrored for reasons which we have discussed on the mailing list many times. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753072 Title: yelp docs not about ubuntu natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
