I agree, huffylinux: the quickest and easiest way to fix this in time
for 11.10 is to pin Help to the launcher bar. The stuff written for
Unity is really helpful, apart from a few inconsistencies (e.g. is it
the Super key or the Meta key, Ubuntu Documentation people?)

I think that a tour for ubuntu is a must have.
It should be interactive showing users how to do this and this action
stepby step.
Maybe it could have some links to install codecs, flash player...

main languages.

There is a huge difference
Hy!
I agree with the idea of an ubuntu tour. And I think, as it have been said
before that the chosen app must be fully and early translatable.
I read few days ago in launchpad oneiric blueprints about a new way to
provide translations. Maybe it could help. I can't find the link right now
but as s
I think the ultimate solution would be a full featured welcome center as
shown in the attached mockups and letting people get to do the decision to

So, for as long as I can remember, people have been asking for a
welcome screen in Ubuntu which is presented when a new user first logs
in. Today, I started Help and was amazed by how straightforward this
