Cool.

Sure, by "the help wiki" I meant help.ubuntu.com.

On further thought, Ubuntu Help (as seen in the help viewer) should 
have help of the form "What is the equivalent of X", where X is some 
term used in Windows (Favorites, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, My 
Documents, C drive, etc). Ubuntu Help Online (help.ubuntu.com) should 
concentrate more on how to prepare for the switch (transferring 
bookmarks, transferring e-mail and address book, transferring desktop 
background).
