Comment 17 for bug 600875

Thanks for the pointer, Matthew.

 * On Mallard, I think that's a decision for the folks who do the work!
I see tool evolution / replacement as inevitable over time. I would hope
we could always be trying to get closer to the goal of better
cross-desktop commonality in that, but even within GNOME there will be
iterations and evolutions.

 * The divergence in shell is what it is. Even though Shell has evolved
to look similar to Unity, there will always be areas of divergence. We
can / should / will document Unity itself, but I recognise there will be
linkages between that and the clean documentation of individual apps.

 * Encouraging collaboration between ubuntu-docs and the Ubuntu Manual
Project seems healthy to me.

To a certain extent, it's incumbent on us to document the whole,
integrated platform, from boot manager to upstart to Unity. We've never
been vanilla anything! That's more obvious now, but has always been the
case.

We have a similar challenge with developer API's, which we'll start to
address this coming year. We need to present the complete platform, the
sum of all our choices, in a coherent fashion.
