Between now and June, we're going to write a new Launchpad user guide. This will replace just about everything that we have on the Help wiki at the start of the process.

The aims of this rewrite are:

• Highlight and explain every part of Launchpad.
• Provide a coherent tutorial, the individual pages/sections of which stand alone.

We have a [:DocTeam/StyleGuide/UserGuideTemplate:template for user guide pages] and a [:StyleGuide:style guide] to help make the help wiki consistent.

Structure

Each section of the tutorial will have its own directory on their help wiki: /Teams/ for example.

The wiki home page will link to the contents/overview page of each of these sections.

Each page of the tutorial will link to the previous and next pages.

Style

Primary articles are part of the tutorial's flow: i.e. they are linked using the next and previous links. Secondary are not but are linked from the section ToC and where necessary.
