The Documentation Team takes care of [[DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation|official documentation]] for both the Desktop and Server editions of Ubuntu. It also contributes to the [[DocumentationTeam/Wiki|Community Help Wiki]], with responsibility for each of these documentation sets devolving upon the sub-team which shares its name. Besides contributing text to the official documentation and the wiki via the '''Contributors team''', each has its own administrative personnel: the '''Committers team''' for official docs and the '''Wiki Administrators team''' for the help wiki. See [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Organization|Documentation Team organization]] for more information on this hierarchy structure.
Line 13: Line 11:
The '''Documentation Team''' is a group of community volunteers responsible for writing, editing, and updating the system documentation that ships with the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu desktop operating systems. New versions of these guides are available with each new release of Ubuntu. These are translated with the Rosetta translation tool in the same manner as all of the other applications in Ubuntu.

## List the team's current projects and tasks as well as status and contact persons for each one. Make it easy for new people to know who to ask and where to go to get involved with a specific project.

The two types of documentation that the team is responsible for are:

 * [[/SystemDocumentation|System Documentation]] --- the documentation that comes with every Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu system. It includes the Ubuntu Server Guide.
 * [[/Wiki|Wiki Documentation]] --- the help wiki is a community edited resource that anyone can edit.

For information on how to contribute, visit either of the two pages linked above. If you need help understanding the team's processes, you might want to [[/Contact|contact the team]] or even [[/Mentoring|join the mentoring scheme]]!
