Introduction

The Documentation Team manages the Ubuntu Documentation Project (UDP), an open source volunteer project that develops and maintains documentation for the Ubuntu operating system.

The docteam is still very small, and has a big job to do. New contributors and members are always welcome. People are needed mostly for writing and editing, but there are many other ways of making a useful contribution. For example, simply pointing out errors (such as typos, grammar and spelling, and technical errors) is an extremely useful way to help.
