The second sentence of the first paragraph of <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter> says "This document is a living specification, describing for designers, developers, testers, and potential contributors how USC is supposed to work." It is not, and has never been, intended to be "useful to end users". That is why it's on wiki.ubuntu.com, rather than help.ubuntu.com -- and why it briefly specifies what the USC help should contain, rather than providing actual help.
So any page linking to <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter> as if it is user-level documentation is wrong. I have removed the link from <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareCenterFAQ>. The page has been similarly clear that it is a specification, not help, since June 2009, only a couple of months after the project began, and four months *before* the release of Ubuntu Software Center 1.0. For that reason, I think renaming the page would not help. People who link to it as if it is help under its current address would link to it as if it is help under its new address too. I think the only long-term cure for that problem is to change the Ubuntu wiki theme to look unambiguously like a contributor zone, not a user zone. As for Ubuntu Software Center's actual help, it is deliberately vague about what kinds of payments are accepted, because these can change on the payment server without any update to USC itself. The help could go into more detail about what happens when the payment is accepted, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859372 Title: wiki describes development, not user documentation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/859372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
