We have decided on the final title, and it will be "Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04." This won't affect anything on Launchpad or the Wiki, as the project will still be "The Ubuntu Manual Project" - but the new title should be used everywhere else.</p>Planet Ubuntu Manual now live!2010-01-25T00:34:43.558168+00:002010-01-25T00:34:43.490283+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2010-01-25:/+announcement/4950Benjamin Humphreyhttps://launchpad.net/~humphreybc<p>We've now got a live Planet for blogs to be aggregated to.

<p>The survey is at <a href="http://questionpro.com/t/ADd2yZGu50" rel="nofollow">http://<wbr/>questionpro.<wbr/>com/t/ADd2yZGu5<wbr/>0</a></p>
<p>Any of you who can tweet, post, email, or otherwise spread this around -- thank you. I would prefer not current Ubuntu users to answer this survey, but in fact for this to reach Windows and Mac users who may have heard about Ubuntu before or maybe even tried to use it unsuccessfully. While obviously this is not a scientific poll, it may nonetheless carry some useful advice for our writers.</p>Manual questionnaire on the Ubuntu Forums2010-01-12T03:41:22.037432+00:002010-01-12T03:41:21.931857+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2010-01-12:/+announcement/4829Benjamin Humphreyhttps://launchpad.net/~humphreybc<p>I have put up a questionnaire on the Ubuntu Forums, that should hopefully give us some more information on what the wider community wants to see in such a documentation.
