Welcome! Would you be interested in writing some brand new documentation
for GNOME (one of Ubuntu's upstream projects)? We're rewriting the
desktop help in its entirety, and we really need people to help us write
new help topics. You can find some of the tasks we're working through
here [1], but there are plenty more besides.

If this sounds interesting, please let me know and I can help you to get
started on some topics.

Thanks,

Phil
