We certainly appreciate any help. A good place to start to find how to
get involved is here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam

Another great way to contribute to documentation is by helping out on the wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryCleanup

People on the mailing list or on irc, #ubuntu-doc at freenode will
point you in the right direction. Hope, you might be interested to
know howto setup a copy of Docteam's SubVersion repository. Visit the
following link for details:
