Packaging good Discourse guides

I have mixed feelings about polls as an example, since 95% of it is “click the poll builder button and use the UI to build the poll”. You may recall that we added poll builder UI to address this a while ago.

I am very VERY anti speculative “hey someone, somewhere might want to know..” type of documentation. It’s a waste of time. However, if you can make a credible case that people are actually asking a certain “how do I..” question over and over, that is a valid case for doing this. But I need to see the data proving it, first.

But even better than documentation or guides, is to improve the UI / software so people don’t need to ask those questions in the first place.

Just sayin’
