Hi Jeremy,

I saw your upload at

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-
center/1:3.24.1-0ubuntu3

Thanks for making it easier to first try to maintain the ubuntu-docs
branch.

I think the changes I uploaded address this bug. So far I have assumed
that we keep the translation domain "ubuntu-help", and I suppose that
there is no problem to keep "ubuntu-help" in the URL at help.ubuntu.com
if that's what we want.

The package does not conflict to gnome-getting-started-docs - I assume
they can well co-exist, and that we have the option to integrate gnome-
getting-started-docs in ubuntu-docs in the same manner as it's currently
integrated in gnome-user-guide.

There are quite a few things I'm not sure of at this time. Hopefully
we'll be able to sort them out in a sensible manner. As a last resort I
suppose it wouldn't be very difficult to switch to gnome-user-guide late
in the cycle.

Title:
  please move ubuntu-help/ to gnome-help/

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  For Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier, we patched several (but not all) GNOME
  apps to show help:ubuntu-help when run in Unity but still show help
  :gnome-help when run in GNOME.

  That won't work anymore with 17.10.

  Test Case
  ---------
  You can see this by installing gnome-shell then logging into GNOME. (It's probably easiest to choose lightdm if asked unless you install ubuntu-gnome-desktop because of LP: #1686257 )

  Open the Help app. It should display either Ubuntu's Help or GNOME's
  Help but it instead loads the All Help page because it can't find help
  :gnome-help.

  Easy Suggested Fix
  ------------------
  bzr mv ubuntu-help gnome-help

  Be sure to set Conflicts: gnome-user-guide

  Then we probably need to change all the places that point to help
  :ubuntu-help to point to help:gnome-help unless someone really wants
  to maintain a Unity Help Guide.

  Alternate Suggested Fix
  -----------------------
  We could just install gnome-user-guide instead of ubuntu-docs.

  Depending on how much customization is wanted, you could fork gnome-
  user-guide later.

  And update help:ubuntu-help links to help:gnome-help like in the
  previous fix.

  Later
  ----
  I think we'll eventually want a transitional package once we figure out what package name we're going to stick with.
