Hi!
So we couldn't decide on a title on the last meeting. Here are the
candidates and arguments. Note that I'm biased, so add or argue points
if you can ;)
What should the title be?
=========================
"The Ubuntu Manual: A Beginner's Guide"
"The Ubuntu 10.04 Manual: A Beginner's Guide"
Pro:
* Already established name.
* Matches the name of the team.
Contra:
* Sounds official and exclusive ("the one and only manual")
* "Manual" implies covering every detail.
* Needs the subtitle to actually say something about scope and
audience.
* Lacking on the emotional side.
"Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04"
Pro:
* It avoids negative connotations of a classification like "beginner"
or "novice", yet provides a hint to readers if it fits their
situation.
* Has an encouraging feel to it.
* The version number is at the end, avoiding a break in the typography
(better "flow").
* It's shorter than the other full title.
Contra:
* It would be a name change, diminishing the publicity we already had.
* It has no short form as natural as "The Ubuntu Manual".
Translations?
=============
I'd like to see at least a few translations and remarks if either one
translates better or worse. Do they compare differently in other
languages?
