Since we're making some progress on "Listing some Menu Selections in CAPITALS?," I thought I'd go ahead and shoot this out to you all for feedback in case we want to post it first to our Forum's wiki thread. Also I wanted to mention that we have quite a winter storm headed our way and that if for some reason you don't hear from me for awhile, it may be because our electricity is out.

Anyway, here are my findings for the NewDocs D page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/D . I checked for outdated and tagged pages, for those addressing versions of Ubuntu no longer supported, and for anything else that might need to be addressed. Below is what I found, plus I have questions which I will pose first.

QUESTIONS:

Some are links to websites rather than wiki help pages. For example,
- all of the Debian pages
- Debugging Dpkg problems http://shearer.org/Debugging_Dpkg_Problems 
- Ubuntu Design Blog http://design.canonical.com/ 
- Devices http://www.ubuntu.com/phone  (acutally "Ubuntu on phones")

1. Should they be left on the D page or moved to Helpful Links https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Links ?
2. Do we need the last two at all since they have nothing to do with help?

Below are pages that are candidates to be moved to ToBeReviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed  unless anyone thinks otherwise for any of them.

TAGGED PAGES:

"this page does not exist yet"
DebianImportFreeze https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebianImportFreeze 
DownThemAll https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DownThemAll 

"needs expansion"
DigitalCameraHowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DigitalCameraHowTo 

"This page does not reach the quality of the UserDocumentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation  series of index pages, but contains useful information"
DVDAuthoring  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring  (also probably outdated - last edited 2010-06-05)

UBUNTU VERSIONS NO LONGER SUPPORTED: none, but see below.

I recommend removing the following two pages altogether:

Debugging Sound Problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems  - redirects to SoundTroubleshooting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems  which advises the info is largely outdated.
DRBD https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DRBD  (blank page last edited 2010-03-09). This could be moved toToBeReviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed if we think someone might do something with it.


Thoughts?
