The projects certainly are similar, but they have different outputs
and specific needs to meet those goals.

The docs team is specifically targeted at created system documentation
that ships with Ubuntu. As such it's written with common documentation
frameworks (Desktops docs now use Mallard, formally used Docbook and
some doc projects still do in Ubuntu) and is released officially in
multiple versions (shipped on the desktop, as HTML for
help.ubuntu.com). It contains a lot of links to stitch it all
together.

The Manual is more of a book style (not really linked to separate
pages) that has downloadable by PDF and also available for purchase as
a very inexpensive paper book.
