Line 1: Line 1:
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.
Line 3: Line 2:
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.
The Launchpad user guide is an on-going project to help people learn how to use Launchpad. The user guide is a back-up to the information provided in Launchpad's web interface. Unlike most websites, Launchpad is sufficiently complex to need more background information and explanation than can comfortably happen in our current user interface.

The Launchpad user guide is an on-going project to help people learn how to use Launchpad. The user guide is a back-up to the information provided in Launchpad's web interface. Unlike most websites, Launchpad is sufficiently complex to need more background information and explanation than can comfortably happen in our current user interface.

Structure

Each section of the tutorial has its own directory in the 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.

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.
