There are some other pages which are not listed. Lubuntu has a problem that is not yet fixed.

That thread was closed and converted to a Wiki Page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LubuntuLinks Which is semi-dead or outdated as no one is updating it any more. The other one was created for Ubuntu GNOME: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/OneStopPage But now, I have decided to drop the idea of the One Stop Shop concept and replace it with something called: Central Home Page (CHP): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME What is that? Each and every 'main' tab will have a CHP (Central Home Page) where you can navigate from to any other sub-page, AKA child page. And, the one and only chance you lose a page is when you do not add it to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/WikiMap That is why, whenever I or someone else in Ubuntu GNOME Team create any page, the first thing we do is adding it to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/WikiMap The combination of CHP + Index is amazing IMHO. Sadly, some Ubuntu documentation or pages are more confusing than being helpful. But that is a bit of different topic. Let's focus on the Ubuntu Quality pages for now :) The only thing I could promise is whenever I find a chance to improve the pages of Ubuntu Quality, I will do it right away ;) But the index page is really important if we really want to keep track of all the pages :) Please, do not tell me to 'search' for a page. I for one have no time to waste on searching. NOT because I am lazy, but because it does not make sense to search for the main and the sub-pages. Oh, I noticed: <<Navigation(children,1)>> here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf I wonder if this is the automatic approach? I don't think so because there is no index, it is just the sub-pages will be listed as far as I can tell. Someone else might have better understanding or idea than myself :) Edit: I have just applied: <<Navigation(children,1)>> To one of Ubuntu GNOME pages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing Without saving the code, just preview. And, it will list the sub-pages under: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing But will not list the pages under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME In another word, I don't think: <<Navigation(children,1)>> Is the way to generate an index for all the pages. > > -- > Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us." > Best Regards, > Ali/amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad> > http://torios.org - Ubuntu GNOME <http://ubuntugnome.org/> - > http://amjjawad.net > -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
