Ok: if you're interested in contributing to the system documentation,
your starting point is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation

If you're interested in working on our community wiki, your starting
point is here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/WikiTeam

Let us know if you have any questions about the processes.

We have plenty of bugs open, some of which are tagged with the
"documentor" tag if we think they might be suitable for a newcomer
hoping to get their teeth into something. I've added links to those
bugs on this page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks

They are of varying difficulty and size so have a look and see if
there is anything which takes your fancy.
