I am surprised to see this rolling out already. Should we add a note and link to this new stuff from here?: https://help.ubuntu.com/index.html The related doc team wiki pages will need updating. Is it possible to publish a PDF version of the serverguide? It is not easy to navigate, both from within one page, wanting to go to the next page, and from the order of things on the navigation page [2]. For example. If I am on the Samba - file server page [6] and then want to go to the print server page. To me, the "Suggested Topics" area makes no sense. There are a great many dead links, and I don't know how many links that should not be links. For example [4], see index.pl as a link and ??? as a non functioning link, but should go to [5]. On [1], one can sort by a bunch of things, but not "topic", which is the only sort I would be interested in. I guess it doesn't matter, as I'll use [2]. At some point (typically around 21.10), the 20.04 serverguide will need to be split out as 22.04 specific edits need to be started. Won't we want something like we have now where "lts" or "stable" always points to the correct version of the web pages? Once 22.04 is released, then "lts" would point to that version and one would need to force "20.04" to get the older, but still active version. While not needed for two years, it should be planned for now. > > [1] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/guide > [2] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introduction/11322 > [3] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ [4] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/web-servers-apache/11510 [5] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/security-certificates/11885 [6] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/samba-file-server/11889 ...
