This exists already - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Contribute

I feel quite strongly that we should focus on ensuring that our
existing pages are clear for new students rather than creating more
pages. The aim should be for students to be able to read the minimum
of material which is phrased as clearly as possible.

Feedback from potential students who are having problems with
navigating and understanding our pages would be helpful there, but
otherwise we should try and read the pages and put ourselves in the
position of someone coming to them anew.
