I went ahead and implemented merging the document type into the scan menu. See attached screenshot. I really like this change so I've committed it upstream. Alex, this change has a small documentation change in the "Scanning a Page" section. OK to do this. Note that apparently documentation is

[Ubuntu-manual] [Bug 543384] Re: Toolbar confusing for new users

Tom and others, I'd be interested in your feedback on the mode selector as it's part of the UI that never feels quite like it fits. The main reason I had it beside the scan button is it only affects the behaviour of the scan button. By placing it too far away it is perhaps confusing as to what it

[Ubuntu-manual] [Bug 546289] Re: (Inconsistent) use of apt-get and aptitude

In the ubuntu-fr team, we still recommand NOT to mix aptitude and apt- get, as it uses separate database. And, as Synaptic uses apt-get database, we recommand to use either [apt-get + Synaptic], either [aptitude only]. As beginners usually use graphical interface (Synaptic / Software center), and

[Ubuntu-manual] [Bug 546299] [NEW] Use of sudo in terminal without explanation on password

Public bug reported: On page 94, the first use of the 'sudo' command is shown. But in contrast to all the other places where sudo is mentioned in the manual, this particular part does not say that you won't see your password while you are typing (as a sidenote). Downloaded version: March 24 revis

[Ubuntu-manual] [Bug 546295] [NEW] Confusing use of 'gksudo' in 'sudo' paragraph

Public bug reported: On page 127, gedit is started with the 'gksudo gedit' command. While this is the correct way of handling a GUI-app with sudo, I think there must be a sidenote explaining the difference or just give the example 'sudo gedit' (because the implications are very, very minimal). Do

Public bug reported: On page 143, the method of package management 'apt-get' is used, while the package management section starting from page 127 is using aptitude. There was a discussion in the wiki team which to use and they came to the rule: use apt-get. It would be a very strange move for the
