Yeah, hopefully there will be more of that kind of collaboration as a 
result of the decision to use the GNOME shell on Ubuntu. Time will tell.

Well, we still need to handle the Ubuntu specific stuff. I'd rather say 
that as of now it will be natural for members of the Ubuntu desktop docs 
team to also be involved in the GNOME docs team.

I believe that most of the shortcomings you noticed when working with 
17.04 apply upstream, so it would be great if you joined the GNOME docs 
team and proposed that the improvements you already made are applied 
upstream as well.
