Great start!

I have updated the Wiki page to include the tasks that are expected from the 
Ubuntu Documentation Contributors.

The two "admin" teams require further clarification as they are currently using  
"read and understood" which is not a measurable goal. In other words, it is 
possible to test whether or not someone has understood what they have read. 
Sample clarifications are below.


== Ubuntu Documentation Commit Team
Note on name change: I'm not sure about you, but committer doesn't appear to 
be an English word in my dictionary? :)
Applicants must have:
  * Signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct
  * Contributed at least one significant patch to the system documentation 
which enhances the existing system documentation, applies the StyleGuide, and 
demonstrates the candidate's ability to work with DocBook, Bazaar and 
Launchpad.


== Wiki Administrators: 
Note on name change: Editor is misleading. This is the administrative team, 
anyone with an LP account can edit the Wiki.
Applicants must have:
  * Signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct
  * Have consistently applied the Wiki Guide in their edits performed as a 
Contributing member.
  * Demonstrated a need to have administrative rights to perform their duties 
as a member of the documentation team.


The Wiki page also needs to include who is performing these evaluations and by 
what manner a person is elevated to an "administrator" role. This needs to 
include:
  * application review process (time frame from when the application is made, 
to when a decision should be handed back)
  * people who are qualified to grant access, and under what conditions they 
may grant/revoke access
  * how often someone may apply to be a member (e.g. you don't want someone 
re-applying to be a member the day after they are rejected)
  * the appeal process for members who are rejected.
