I've updated the wiki, primarily for organization. I also added a 'future
direction' section to open up the discussion a bit.

One thing that conveniently came up today . . . Harald Sitter has noted that
he wants to start working on Khelpcenter, and do some work to integrate it
with online help sources. I've already passed along a link to his post to
Shaun, and Shaun said, "Interesting." and then he later said, "Very
interesting," and finally . . . "Oooh, a class diagram." Harald will be at
UDS, so . . . this is at least a starting point for ideas and collaboration.

As for our 11.10 goal list, we have a good starting point, but would like to
start building out some specific goals. What areas would people be
interested in contributing? For me, the ones that are most interesting are
the team wiki, blog, and working on the bug maintenance.

The wiki work might sound kind of mundane, but I'm thinking of stuff like
the style guide, content templates, documenting our workflow, gap analysis,
and some other stuff that will help build our team for the future. I do have
a spot lined up for the OpenWeek session (more info in another email), but
I'm going to try and get some more help from tech writers who might not have
been exposed to Ubuntu to come and help us.

Of course, I'm willing to help write stuff, too, but the areas mentioned
above would be the areas where I feel I could best contribute for this
release.

What areas sound appealing to folks, and what areas do we think we could use
some more help?

Jim
