Thanks Kev

Last thing I want to add: we should add an easy way for forum users to
search in the wiki/Documentation.
For example in the ubuntu-fr forum (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/):
- see the search bar on top right of the page (it allows to search either
in the Forum or Documentation or Planet=NewsFeed)
- see the "Documentation" link in the left panel  (it links to the wiki
main page)

Yann
