Last I knew (September), there were two contenders,
as proposed by the Canonical Docs team. Excerpt

I have no idea. In terms of the installation guide, all
that I do is per LTS cycle simple edits, compile and
publish on help.ubuntu.com. Sometimes the published
version of the installation guide might slightly differ from the
packaged version, because my request for a merge proposal just
sits there, so I go ahead anyhow and publish what I have.
(not the case at the moment.)
