I see no harm in that proposal but have another proposal which I think
has merit: If the bottom of each documentation page at
http://help.ubuntu.com had a comment box (something new pc users quickly
become familiar with) then people could easily comment on the
documentation they are looking at at that moment. The PHP documentation
has such a system at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ . This could be a
great 'entry level' for new contributors.
