I can never make 17:00 on Wednesdays, but, and as mentioned few months ago,
I won't be much involved in docs until late September anyhow.

Would the Canonical stuff, and the related master bzr branch be under a different project?
And how would people know to file bugs under, say, "canonical-docs"
instead of "Ubuntu-docs" or "serverguide"?

What does "will use a different license" mean?

For our current part of it, why would we want this?
As it is now we just do it and it is done. Minimal overhead.

Since I first started using Ubuntu, help.ubuntu.com was never up to date
on release day. Since I started taking care of help.ubuntu.com updates it has
always been up to date on release day, something I am quite proud of.

For the new Canonical parts of it, they should take care of it yes.

I do not see how it would release the doc team from anything as it is all
embedded in our master bzr branches (not the help.ubuntu.com master branch,
which is almost entirely just slave files to the actual ubuntu-docs and serverguide
master branches.
