Differences between Official and Community documentation?

Ubuntu provides Official and Community documentation.

  • Why create the two streams?
  • Is the official documentation more trustworthy?
  • Is the criteria to add to it more strict?

Solution 1:

  • Community documentation can be created by anyone using the wiki.
  • Any user can create a how-to for any ubuntu-related topic under the Community documentation.
  • Official documentation are the online html version of the system documentation that can be edited only by core-doc team.
  • The official documentation are narrower in scope,dealing only with main help topics.
