I am happy to help with the translation related tasks for ubuntu-docs.
I was thinking to create at least an HTML version of ubuntu-docs for all
languages so that it will be easy for translators to check their work.
This should be the equivalent of Ubuntu lang-pack PPA

If we can create a script and automate this job will help us create more
frequent releases.

Now I'm looking at intrepid files to see if I'm able to automate some
tasks.

Ok. Just tell me what needs to be done and I will see if I could help.

In the meanwhile I will create the help.ubuntu.com on my computer and
get familiar with ubuntu-docs.
