I would like to open the following recommendations to the Wiki Team Home 
Page for discussion.

My goal was an attempt to make it cleaner, simpler, and more modular to 
prevent duplication of official, preexisting, or more up-to-date 
information:

A sample of these changes can be seen at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home/PageDiscussion

* Move the following sections to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams

  1. Software Developers
     <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Software%20Developers>
  2. Quality Assurance and Packaging
     <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Quality%20Assurance%20and%20Packaging>
  3. Marketing and Advocacy
     <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Marketing%20and%20Advocacy>
  4. Support and Documentation
     <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Support%20and%20Documentation>
  5. Training <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Training>
  6. Accessibility <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Accessibility>
  7. Artwork <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Artwork>
  8. Localisation and International Users
     
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Localisation%20and%20International%20Users>

* Replace "Contribution <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Contribution>" 
with a link to "Get Involved"- http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate

* Replace "Community Councils and Boards 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home#Community%20Councils%20and%20Boards>" with 
a link to http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/

* Replace "Events" with a link to http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event

* Replace "Release Schedule" with a link to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

In addition, to correspond with the above changes, I am also 
recommending updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams to be a more 
comprehensive guide and collection of all currently active Teams.  An 
example can be seen here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams/PageDiscussion

I would welcome and encourage all Teams to help fill in any missing gaps 
on that page as I would like to see it become "The" page to find ALL the 
Ubuntu Teams and how to contact them.

If I forgot to contact anyone, or any team, I apologize in advance.  
Please feel free to pass this on to them, or your respective Teams.

Feel free to make suggestions/edits on the PageDiscussions as needed.  
My goal was to get these changes in place by the launch of 8.10 and I 
have been working feverishly to put these examples together.
