The wiki page is now renamed to PopularPages, and the old NewDocs page is redirected to that page. > Of course this means that both Leigh and Geoff should join the Ubuntu > Documentation Contributors team > <https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-doc-contributors> and the Ubuntu > Documentation Project Team <https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-doc> and > its mailing list. Nobody should join the latter group directly, it's an umbrella project for other teams. You will gain the membership of this group via the former team. > While this process is on, I'll edit the team Launchpad page > alerting people to use the ubuntu-doc mailing list instead. > Also, #ubuntu-ops will be asked to forward our channel to #ubuntu-doc > channel. > > I think that covers it all and hope that this next step, and growth, > of the project will make us all work harder on it's purpose, which is > to make it a even better learning medium and resource tool, versatile > and fast. > > Cheers, > David > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/slickymaster Cheers, Pasi -- Pasi Lallinaho (knome) » http://open.knome.fi/ Leader of Shimmer Project and Xubuntu » http://shimmerproject.org/ Graphic artist, webdesigner, Ubuntu member » http://xubuntu.org/
