Absolutely. I suggest you chat with the documentation team on their
mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc),
or on IRC (#ubuntu-doc on irc.freenode.net). They may already have
something cooking, and if they don't I'm sure they will appreciate the
help.

That discussion has popped up a few times. Never seems to reach a
particular agreement. I think one concern was that Yelp was very slow,
so with Yelp 3 in this release (which uses Webkit and has been touched
up significantly) there will be more positives for doing it. Another
worry is it could look too noisy, so there's definitely some work to
be done implementing that in a way people can agree with. Again,
probably the best people to talk to are the docs team.
I have a hunch that idea really just needs somebody to commit to it
and all the pieces will come together ;)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

It is important to advertise that Ubuntu still include the "Ubuntu Classic Desktop" in 11.04, and since the GDM session manager is not exactly obvious, i propose showing it featured on the Ubiquity Slide Show for Ubuntu Natty Desktop, and also in the "New to Ubuntu?" section of help and support, see below:

* A slide during the instillation of Ubuntu should demonstrate how one can log-into either the 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop' or standard 'Ubuntu Desktop Edition'.
* This should also be included in the help documentation, preferably between the "Welcome to Ubuntu" page and the "Getting around the desktop" page, with a page title such as "Login into Ubuntu".

I have never used bazaar before, or created a patch, but i will give this a go, support and guidance would be greatly appreciated (as would someone taking over ;) lol)
