If you're interested, there are a couple of things you should take a look at:

 * the [:DocTeam/StyleGuide:Launchpad Help style guide]
 * our [:DocTeam/ReviewProcess:review process]
 * the [https://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-documentation Launchpad Documentation project].

If you haven't already, you should sign up for the [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users launchpad-users] mailing list. The team is brand new, right now, and we'll have our first team meeting soon. In the mean time, join us in the ```#launchpad``` channel on Freenode.

If you've got any questions, ping ```mrevell``` in ```#launchpad``` or mail feedback@launchpad.net
