Introduction

The Documentation Team is a group of community volunteers who manage the documentation that ships with the Ubuntu operating system, as well as the community-developed documentation on the documentation website at https://help.ubuntu.com/community.

Our work consists of writing, editing and updating the system documentation for Ubuntu, as well as gathering the helpful advice from the Ubuntu Mailing-lists and Web Forums for all to use.

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.

How to Contribute

You can help out in a number of ways:

Projects

The Documentation Team maintains the help system for the Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu desktops, as well as specific guides on Ubuntu Server and Switching From Windows. New versions of these guides are released with each new release of Ubuntu, and these are translated through the translation tool Rosetta in the same manner as all of the other applications in Ubuntu.

For a complete list of these projects and the community members who are currently maintaining them, see our [:DocumentationTeam/Projects:Projects page].
