Docs team blog

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Please could i forward this email to The Document Foundation's Documentation 
Team?  They recently set-up a blog to attract new members to their team and it 
seems to have worked.  They are still a tiny team tho and would appreciate a few 
people from Ubuntu-docs joining them.  Even a small amount of work upstream 
there helps us all hugely.

They might be able to give some advice about setting up a successful blog and 
perhaps share ideas on how they use it and what we could consider for 
Ubuntu-Docs.

Please let me know if i should NOT forward the email below to them.
Regards from
Tom :)
