You're entitled to your opinion, but we've discussed this in detail over several release cycles with plenty of research. Have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpfulHelp which is probably the best analysis of the help system. Two of the key points are: 1. Blindly listing documents by application name without a coherent categorisation means that regular users are just going to stop reading the help and go somewhere else. 2. Quite a lot of the documents listed in the standard yelp indexes are totally irrelevant to the vast majority of desktop users and confuse them rather than assist them (e.g. "GNOME Documentation XSLT Manual"). > E.g., where have the Python documentation & tutorials gone? > I thought Ubuntu wanted to promote python programming/scripting? Funnily enough that's one of the categories which is still present: Advanced Topics -> Writing your own programs. Those links are broken in the current yelp, although that's another story / bug. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- No way to browse applications' manuals https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147668 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
