Hmm . . . i'm not suggesting that we use all the same documentation.
It would be useless, for example, to have synaptic documentation on
server.

That's wasn't my idea either ;-) I just meant that the specific parts of documentation that are relevant to the server environment.

But a good guide for installing various X environments (basic
X windows stuff, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, etc) should be
there.  Mostly what I meant was that the changes we make to the way
documentation is used and accessed should be echoed.

Sorry, I really don't understand what you mean (the last sentence) but would like to give some input and maybe contribute to the documentation. Maybe you could clarify (ie. give a specific example) of server documentation. I don't have access to an ubuntu-server now so it would help if you could give an example of how the documentation is accessed at this point in time, and how the documentation looks.

I assumed the documentation was taken from various sources (official documentation, wiki, forum) and manually put together in (text-only) html pages (or something similar) with an index. That's why I suggested to focus on the actual documentation first before putting alot of effort into gathering/converting it for use in a server environment without X.

Some examples would make this discussion alot easier and may encourage people like me to start contributing documentation.
