Jordan and I will have to confer some more on this, but I'm sure we'll
get a draft done soon.

Great! It would be really nice if we can have one single doc to refer
people to, regardless of what derivative they might be using.

Because of this, I have now reorganized the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Projects. The projects are now
sorted into 4 categories:

- Ubuntu Specific Docs
- Kubuntu Specific Docs
- Non-Desktop-Specific Docs
- Docs for the Documentation Team

The projects are left unaltered, though I have added the Switching From
Windows guide and the new Contribute to Ubuntu article as projects. It
would be great if all the doc maintainers could update the status of
their docs and alter them so as to fit with a new structure for the Docs
as discussed by Matthews East and Thomas in this thread.

Please add to this and discuss it. My initial reorganization is by no
means set in stone. But I would like the Projects page to clearly
reflect the Docs in the Ubuntu Help as we envision them in Edgy.
