Hi all,
Make your own comparison between NewDocs and TitleIndex.
TitleIndex here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TitleIndex
Newdocs here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NewDocs
TitleIndex :
Pros -
Holds the complete listing of Ubuntu Documentation.
Cons -
The intial loading of the list takes between 20 to 28 seconds.
The navigation of the pages is very awkward.
Alphabetical Pages do not lend themselves to convenient printouts.
With a list in excess of 4,000 practicable adjustments are difficult.
NewDocs :
Pros -
Loads in 4 to 5 seconds.
Returns between 85 - 90 Percent of Ubuntu Documentation Searches.
May be conveniently Bookmarked - Reducing pages from hundreds to one.
TitleIndex may be used in the event that a page isn't found.(link on facepage)
The navigation of the pages is convenient.
Alphabetical pages may be easily printed out for referral purposes.
Response from many end users has been positive - see Post #23
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=23
Cons -
None.
By all means have a "play" with NewDocs and see how easy it is to use. Have a look at page A2 too. As I have indicated, many end-users have expressed their confirmation in it's value.
Having being involved with the NewDocs Wiki from the beginning, I am now anxious to have other people contribute.
The major problem as I see it, is how best to move forward with NewDocs, so that it is available to and used by the largest number of Ubuntu end-users practicable. I consider the NewDocs Wiki virtually complete now, the problem being with it's marketing.
You may see the problem in a different light.
I seek advice and help from others. If you have a comment of any nature or a contribution, kindly post on this thread. I will certainly be very pleased to hear from you.
With kind regards,
BlinkinCat -
