Agreed. This does seem like the best solution.

Best wishes,

I might be a bit of an old hard-liner, but http://wiki.ubuntu.com  is not supposed to be for help / how-to documents. I would merge the information in to the help document on http://help.ubuntu.com/community 

Before sending my opinion on this to both the mailing lists, I wanted to be sure that I was not seeing the entire thing wrongly, and after discussing it with Pasi in the -doc channel I think that the best approach would be to insert a link in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics  to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics .
If we were to marge one into the other, we might fall under a double maintaining effort situation, i.e., if one changes, somebody has to make sure that the content of the other would be up-to-date.

Cheers,
David
