Introduction

During the first half of 2008, we're re-writing the Launchpad user guide. These mini-specs are each linked to blueprints stored in Launchpad.

If you'd like to help out with writing this documentation, please read our [:DocTeam/StyleGuide:style guide] and [:DocTeam/ReviewProcess:review process], then find out about [:DocTeam:joining the Launchpad Documentation team].

User guide overview

The new Launchpad user guide will describe how to use each Launchpad, taking over from the current FeatureHighlights guide and much other material currently on the Launchpad Help wiki.

Each wiki page of the guide should standalone, for those readers dipping in and out of the guide, but should also gel coherently with the rest of the guide.
