= DocumentationTeam =

The documentation team is the engine of the Ubuntu Documentation Project
(UDP), an Open Source volunteer project that aims to develop and maintain
literary content surrounding the Ubuntu distribution and community.

Authored works are released using a dual license strategy. This means there
are many ways to contribute to the project - documenting, editing, proof
reading, technical checks and reporting or fixing typos, grammar or spelling
errors. Even suggestions or ideas are welcomed here.

FAQ about the ubuntu documentation efforts can be found at the DocumentationTeamFAQ wiki page.

== Getting Involved ==

Great! You want to help. Here is a list of links to resources that will
provide information on how to get started and become a productive member of
the team.

If you are in a hurry, we suggest reading "[For the Hasty]." This page is the
project nuts and bolts in a nut shell. We highly recommend it to people with
experience in Open Source documentation projects.

For the not so hasty we recommend the scenic tour. The scenic tour is a list
of links to pages arranged in an order that will guide you through various
steps and provide you with information such as - where to find things, what
you need, what needs doing, what's being done, what has been done, and how to
do them. Each of these topics is linked to the next in sequential order.

 * DocteamGettingStarted - What we do and how to get involved.

 * DocteamLicense - The license used for the documentation produced by the team.

 * DocteamProjects - The documents we work on: a list of everything under development linked to document specifications, HTML previews and status informations.

 * DocteamWork - Programs and technologies. A descriptive list of the tools and technologies used in the project with links to relevant information.

 * DocteamServices - Collaborative community infrastructures. Information about the nature and purpose of the various networks services that facilitate our communications.

== Special Help Wanted Here ==

We can't all be experts. From time-to-time we need special skills not
current within our skill pool and would be happy to obtain extra help. If there is something listed here and you feel that you can help, we would be happy to hear from you.

'''Help with the QuickGuide'''!

A really easy, fun and useful source of things to do is
the QuickGuide. One can have a look at it [http://people.ubuntu.com/~mako/docteam/quickguide/ online], then pick tasks from [http://people.ubuntu.com/~mako/docteam/status/qg-report.html its status report].

To contribute new content without needing to mess with subversion or
docbook, one can just post them to the ubuntu-doc list, or add/link their new parts
at the end of QuickGuide and annonce them to the ubuntu-doc list,
