I think there should still be a Documentation entry under Support on the
website. I agree that it shouldn't be the Plone help centre nonsense,
but it is still a reasonable starting place for people to look so
something should be there.   So how about making
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/documentation a regular website page (no
subpages, not the Plone help centre) which says
- to view current documentation, see http://doc.ubuntu.com and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation - for frequently asked questions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQGuide
- to contribute documentation, join us at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam Jane

I think a much better place for the FAQ Guide, along with all the other
official documentation, is http://doc.ubuntu.com. We could have
sub-domains branching off this, such as http://doc.ubuntu.com/faqguide.
All that would then need to happen is for us to replace any redundant
pages in the wiki with a link to http://doc.ubuntu.com/faqguide. Having
builds of our documents on a user-editable wiki is just asking for pain.

I personally still think the best idea is the original one: to have doc.ubuntu.com for previews and status reports of our work in progress, and help.ubuntu.com for released documents, which could be under the support tab of the website in the documentation section.
