I just went on our wiki site to look at the Style Guide and it was 
basically a link to the Gnome Style Guide - which makes sense.  But 
since Phil and I are sitting here with the Gnome Documentation Team 
today discussing a shared style guide are there any Ubuntu specific 
guidelines? or where should I be looking for those items?
