No link to page sources

[anatoly techtonik]

readthedocs implemented a good practice of linking to exact page on GitHub. This make it really easy for users used to GH user experience to change changes for those docs. Would be nice to see at least source links for Ubuntu help pages.

Can you be more specific by pointing to a readthedocs page?

?? There is a link on the bottom of every page on help.ubuntu.com on where to file a bug, which will be in the master bizzarre branch. Just go to the code tab from there. And note that the link destination changes as a function of being in desktop-help or serverguide or whatever.

Sure. http://www.ethdocs.org/en/latest/ - try to spot it yourself,
and measure the time it takes for user to understand he has
the power. Compare it to user experience for Ubuntu help.

Do you have UX team at Canonical?

Beats me. I do not know what "UX" team is, and I am just a volunteer contributor anyhow.

Previously known as "ergonomics" in times when human-machine
interfaces were hardware. I advise you to ask this question about UX
on your Ubuntu mailing list and point to this bug, so that somebody
from UX team can tell you more.
