Thus, it is important that there are no errors on our page that could turn visitors away. Also, it helps the general coherence of the wiki and Ubuntu as a whole, since our team provides a quite important service to Ubuntu.

Our team mainly does work on outdated or badly written documentation, but sometimes does work (upon request) for teams and other important aspects of Ubuntu.
