Hi Aaron,
we ave the beginning of a formatting guideline at:

https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DocumentHowto

It is not finished yet because everything is still newish, smelling of
paint etc. My personal opinion is, use as little html as possible, if
the only reason is W3C specs, the text will still be incorperated in
plone, so as long as plone does it wrong, it does not help anyway.

Now we could use a hand on the above-mentioned doc, so if you as
graphical-guy could take a look?

And we do have some pages that could use some html love, we have our
hardware database, it looks horrible, tables just don't dig it for a
database, but we haven't even started thinkng how to make this a
userfriendly higgified uber-database frontend, so feel free to take a
look at:

https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupport

what would be a good way to make this work? Let us know.

See you on the list or in #ubuntu-doc,
