You mean UserDocumentation right?

You could say it's an index, but it's so full of stuff that it reads 
more like the index at the back of a book- without a structure that's 
easy to grasp. I think it should read like the contents page at the 
front of a book - guiding you to which volume/chapter/section you want - 
from there you find the specific guide you need.

How does that sound?

Sorry, my comment said "has been merged with UbuntuSupport", a page I 
made. I since decided to build on
HowToGetHelp (for now I've just added it at the bottom) instead but 
forgot to update the comment. Check to make sure I'm not fibbing,
and then maybe hide it again?

I'd like to see the page trim and simple...

Yes, I've been slack on that - I will be better
