Comment 14 for bug 122297

Neal,

As you'll probably have gathered by now from the discussion on the mailing list, I simply disagree. There is a good reason to hide this information from users, and that is that they shouldn't *ever* be using it. There simply isn't a good reason - the preview material on doc.ubuntu.com is work in progress and applies only to the development version of Ubuntu.

The only reason for people to read the material is if they are assisting with development of the documentation: that doesn't require google. It just requires us to ensure that the site can be clearly found by those interested in helping out in that area: by linking it from the appropriate pages at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam.

I agree that it's in our interest to raise the google rank of official documentation - we should address this by seeking to raise the google rank of help.ubuntu.com, not by promoting unstable documentation for the development release of Ubuntu.

What do other people think?
