Hello Ralph,

You are most welcome. There are a few of us on the list who come from 
technical writing backgrounds so one more is fantastic!

At present everyone is at the Ubuntu Down Under conference, and we are just 
after release, so there is not much going on. However that doe snot mean 
there is nothing to do.

We colloborate in a Subversion Repository. The storage format in the in 
Subversion is Docbook XML. I am assuming that you have found this page 
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DocumentationTeam . Everyting about the team 
and what we are doing is available from here.


Again, a warm welcome and don't be shy. If you have questions just ask. I will 
support you in getting started if you needed. You can find me on list of on 
the irc channel #ubuntu-doc "froud" is my nick.
