[CoLoCo] Ubuntu documentation poor?

[Neal McBurnett]

At the server team documentation session at UDS-Boston, we learned
that the documentation team is all-volunteer - no staffing from
Canonical, unlike many of the main teams.  So that could be
related....

Of course some distros (like maybe gentoo - do they get funding?) do
great documentation without staffing, so one response is to just do
whatever needs to be done :-)

I think that at least launchpad should give karma points for wiki work
as a bit of incentive.
