+1. I think it is also a bit more in the spirit of distributed revision 
control. Each LP users has free bzr hosting so why not let them use 
that. Then the ubuntu-core-doc members can merge from a specific user's 
branch rather than trying to pick out stuff from a common branch. Seems 
a lot cleaner too me.

I'm most concerned about this aspect in the whole idea of having student 
branches. Would individual branches benefit from shared repos? I just 
don't know enough about how they workl As it is now I can't see how we 
could possibly suggest people to push their own doc branches. This could 
be one positive point about starting fresh branches for intrepid, though 
I don't really like the idea overall.
