Docs for Phone/Tablet

Hi folks,

I've just joined the team, and look forward to helping out when I can.

I am also working on a third-party users guide to Ubuntu Touch for Sams 
Publishing, and plan a chapter on documentation and other "ways to get 
help." I have a few questions to start with (and suspect there will be 
more as time goes on), and I hope someone here can answer them or direct 
me to an appropriate place/person:

* Is there anyone working on documentation for (any of) the Touch Core 
Apps at this point?
* Can you get to (a version of) the Ubuntu desktop guide in Unity on a 
phone/tablet today; if not, is that the plan?

Unfortunately, Sams (Pearson Education) owns the copyright on this book, 
so I can't offer my text as official documentation. But I am definitely 
willing to help with editing such a project.

By way of introduction, I am a technical writer by trade. By day, I 
write manuals for PKWARE (the folks that invented the ZIP compression 
format). I wrote two editions of "openSUSE Linux Unleashed" in the early 
2000s, and also two editions of "WordPress in Depth" with Bud Smith.

Many thanks for any help you can offer!
