Wiki Team Launchpad permissions (was Re: Proposal: Create product for each derivative's documentation)

[Matthew East]

Starting separate thread for this, it's a topic that can definitely be
discussed at the irc meeting too.

As you've rightly pointed out, there is a potential permissions point
here - people do require elevated permissions on the wiki to rename
and delete pages, etc. At the moment that's reflected in this group:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EditorGroup

Ideally that should be mirrored by a Launchpad team. The wiki-team was
intended to do so, but it's become unwieldy. So I'd propose two teams:

1. ~ubuntu-wiki - open team which is used to encourage people to
contribute to the wiki. Member of the umbrella ~ubuntu-doc team.

2. ~ubuntu-wiki-admin - moderated team which mirrors the EditorGroup
and has requirements for entry which can be (better) documented here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/WikiTeam. Member and
administrator of the ~ubuntu-wiki team
