I'm happy to help out the ubuntu-docs team. I'm least concerned with
bzr and Mallard (or any particular markup language). I can learn about
those anywhere.  The things I'd like to see documented are the one-off
tools (e.g., the various shell scripts and Makefiles in the
ubuntu-docs bzr repository) and the processes and procedures used to
publish the documentation when it's complete.

Are these tools and processes documented somewhere?  Is that
documentation up to date and accurate?

I'd find that to be very helpful.

Thanks!
