I think simplifying all the pages would be good for people like Barry.
People who want to help but dont know where to start get confused by
some of the terms used in the wikis like
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
for example. This page looks very confusing even to me who read trough
it a good few times. I think its mainly because the style the page is
written in. You have terms like MOTU where if you dont know what a MOTU
is you have to go to another page. So if you dont know many of the terms
you have a lot of tabs full of information that may not be entirely
relivent to your original query. Even the fact there are so many pages
is overwhelming.
