From my point of view the Community Council needs to address the fact that the 
@ubuntu.com members feel the docteam is a minor part of the project and the 
decisions the docteam makes to help make the documentation better don't 
really count.  I've been reading the list for awhile and it seems that 
someone needs to deal with the fact that @ubuntu.com people join the list 
post some changes that are going to be made and then leave.

The documentation is a key part to the sucess of the distro.
