I worked with Tiffany a bit at the Gnome documentation hackfest.  She's
contributed so much to Gnome docs - we're really lucky to have her looking
to contribute to Ubuntu docs.

Tiffany, with regards to the wiki, there is a page [0] that provides links
to pages that need work in one way or another. You can peruse the links off
of that page and update pages that interest you and need work.

I'm sure that there are additional pages which need to be tagged as
applicable to unsupported versions, style cleanup, etc. You can mark any
pages that have "issues" with the appropriate tags, too.

Finally, if there's a page that just doesn't exist yet, or a topic that
interests you, you can feel free to write or update wiki pages on those
topics, too.

If you have any questions, we're on #ubuntu-doc on the freenode irc network
(though the channel can be kind of quiet at times), or you can post
questions to the mailing list.

Thanks, Tiffany!

Jim
