Could you explain that?  I agree, Ubuntu documentation often sucks, but I
can't see where or how Gentoo could improve on it. That is, for
_applications_ the documentation comes from upstream, and if Gentoo has
such documentation and Ubuntu doesn't, it's odd to say the least.  If we're
talking about more high-level documentation, like "how to install the OS",
well, I think it's all there and up-to-date on the Ubuntu Wiki, but perhaps
there are things to be learned from the way Gentoo does it.

I'd disagree about the bug system - it may take you a while to learn
Launchpad, but my experience is that it _is_ up-to-date and useful.
