Bug Description

The gethelp.html page in the Ubuntu slideshow more or less refers to Ask Ubuntu as *the* way to get help. Considering the Ubuntu Desktop Guide, which is maintained by the Documentation Team, this is odd IMO. It's an oversight which should be addressed.

Current wording:

"Any questions?
Check out askubuntu.com for answers to all your Ubuntu questions. There’s a good chance your question will have been answered already and, if not, you’ll find thousands of volunteers eager to help. For more support options, go to ubuntu.com/support."

This is the corresponding wording in the Xubuntu slide show:

"Help & Support
The Official Documentation that covers many of the most common areas and questions about Xubuntu is shipped with every Xubuntu release. Find it by clicking on Help on the main menu.
The documentation is also available online at docs.xubuntu.org.

Other resources
Still have questions? The full list of support methods is available at the Help & Support section of the Xubuntu website.

Real-time support
For live, online support, join our IRC channel, #xubuntu, by clicking here.
The main support channel is English only. For support in other languages, view the full list of local support channels."

Sounds good! I'll make sure your proposal is looked at. I think originally that copy was accompanied by a callout to Help & Support (like we have in the Photos slide, for example) and it just hasn't been given much love. Tweaking this to highlight the awesome offline docs makes a lot of sense. Just keep it simple and don't be afraid to remove things. Be ruthless :)

Any chance that someone can review the linked MP before the Wily release?
