Thanks for letting us know, Shaun, and for offering your help. Needless
to say we are interested.

That could be one way, and I would be interested.

Yeah, we should probably not change anything before the final release of
the 16.10 desktop docs (which will happen in less than a week).

As regards build of "help.ubuntu.com" it should be mentioned that we
have separate branches for desktop and server, and to get a grasp of
what we do today, it's probably sufficient if Shaun builds one of them.
