too many instances of "Ubuntu" on yelp frontpage

[Matthew East]

Binary package hint: yelp

Just to remind myself.

The Yelp frontpage contains 6 instances of the word "Ubuntu". That's too many. The next version of the patch we do for the frontpage layout should reduce this number.

[Áron Sisak (asisak)]

Actually it seems that we only have 5 left now (Feisty, x86).

[Matthew East (mdke)]

Definitely 6, keep lookin!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do we need to keep that bug and the one about the layout patch opens or one bug with changes to the layout could be enough?

I would say that it isn't a bad thing. It's actually a quite clever marketing trick to get the product name (in this case Ubuntu) into users/customers minds.
Next time you start a computer running a Microsoft(tm)-made OS, you should count how many times "Microsoft"(tm) appears;-) Quite fun actually.

See the suggestions on the duplicate bug for fixing this.

[Matthew East (mdke)]

I'm attaching a debdiff which fixes this issue by removing the redundant headings as suggested by Matthew Paul Thomas on the duplicate bug.

The patch also fixes an error in the "Common Questions" section of the Table of Contents that has been raised on the ubuntu-doc mailing list recently.

I hope the debdiff works ok - my first experience with quilt.

Apart from the changelog and the control file change, the patch itself still applies. Can this get into natty?

[Matthew East (mdke)]

Let's see whether yelp 3 gets into natty first - if so then this patch will be deprecated. I'll monitor the position, ubuntu-sponsors could be unsubscribed for now.

This bug was fixed in the package yelp - 2.30.1-0ubuntu2
