Ubuntu Handbook

Asked by Dmitry Agafonov

Is there any plans to adapt or implement something like FreeBSD Handbook? (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/)
It is extremely useful for new users migrating from other OSes, including *nixes as well.

Or http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ for Edubuntu. Furthermore, you can install it on your computer by ubuntu-docs, edubuntu-docs, kubuntu-docs.
Gusty documentation have a lot of new topics. But some localization is not complete (i mean Russian).

It seems there are many improvements still needed to match my visions, but these docs are some steps I've missed.
As for me, I prefer more instructive (vs commonly used descriptive) materials with rich visual support (e.g. screenshots, simple animations or full screencasts).
Many important topics are not covered for now. And yes, poor docs localization is still a huge stopper for many potential users...

Anton, thanks to you too, Edubuntu seems to have more complete docs in some areas :)
