Getting doc-bugs solved - was: Proposing new tags

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Guntbert,

Yes, it can seem a thankless task.

The docs team is really small in number, we 'oversee' things that need
actioning. I'm a wiki based person, so do not got involved in, say, server
documentation. I feel that maybe the teams who are supposed to act are not
getting the bugs that you have taken the time to report. This is most
likely a failure in how a 'bug' raised actually arrives in their 'in-box'.
I think that it is worth the doc-team bringing this up at UDS-T and now is
good point for this discussion to start. As such, I've cc'd this back to
ubuntu-docs mailing list to get their thoughts. I hate that some one like
yourself is kind enough to take the time to 'flag' an issue up and then
feel no action is being taken, this will only lead to people
becoming disillusioned.

Please do not lose heart, we need people who care and your alerting us to
what you see as failures is really important.

Regards,

Phill.
