Just as enrico has outlined, I would like also to contribute on the
accounting , planning and desining stuff.  From beggining I had
concrete ides and thoughts for the direction for the doc team and
makeup (I originally created
http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/DocumentationTeam and 
http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/UDP , http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/DocDevel
, http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/HowDoc ) and would also contribute on
documentation, ( http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/StartingTheJourney ) ,
with a focus on hold my hand, gentle intro to stuff for the
uninitiated.
