Furthermore, it is hard to discover the best practices for doing so. Ever see what happens to people when they ask about this in the forums? They get a large set of options, without any way to sift through them and get started. I think solving this problem is important for platform adoption. I would love to contribute to, and be involved in such a solution. I even have some documentation that I started relevant to this, it it would help bootstrap the process.

Change to log off/shutdown workflow

Hi, In current Jaunty, there is no "Log Out..." or "Shut Down" button in the System menu. Instead, the user has to use the red "Power" button against their name in the top panel. If the applet is removed, either intentionally or accidentally, the options appear again in the System menu. We will have to update the documentation to reflect this. There are various places where this appears, I think. I think it will need to say something like this: "To log out, click the red power button in the top panel, and choose "Log out". If you do not have the red power button for some reason, choose "System" -> "Log Out...". I'm not sure whether it is necessary to document the second option, but people do tend to remove panel applets by accident sometimes, so it may be worth it. What do others think? This also affects the Gnome documents, unfortunately, so as a result of this choice by the developers we will have to introduce a further delta between Ubuntu's Gnome documents and Gnome's versions of the documents. Would anyone like to have a go at identifying all the places where this appears? -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-doc mailing list ubuntu-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc
