I am new here too so I will say what I have found out so far:

There are some good general links for getting started here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Contribute
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SVN

It seems the system documentation is written in docbook. I am currently looking for a good editor 
(in Python preferably) as hand editing xml is easy to get wrong.

Some explanation about docbook is given here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/DocbookTags

If you make changes to the code the process (I think) goes something like this:

'The standard workflow for documentation is to checkout the svn trunk, edit in docbook, create a
diff (if without commit rights to the svn repo) and then e-mail the diff patch to ubuntu-doc list'

[If this is wrong or there is some better way please let me know]

Of course you can always write some wiki pages and correct mistakes as explained on the first link
above.

If you have any experience of Mobile Internet Devices (MID) or embedded development please
consider helping out with the Ubuntu Mobile Guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UMEGuide

as we need new ideas,advice and plenty of good 'documenters'
