Daniel,

Yes, but when it comes to docs that's our domain, they should just stick
to marketing and marketing docs (eg quick tour). I think they are
stepping on our toes with this one, ubuntuguide.org has already been
covered officially by the docteam in the form of the FAQ Guide and
should remain that way. Some of their proposals on the ubuntupeople.com
forum are just silly, and I doubt anyone will see most of them through
(as you have pointed out in the fact activity has ready died somewhat
since it started).
