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

 * the [[DocTeam/StyleGuide|Launchpad Help style guide]] and [[DocTeam/StyleGuide/UserGuideTemplate|user guide template]]
 * 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.

Overview

The Launchpad Documentation Team is used to grant edit access to the help wiki and the dev wiki. Please join the team if you would like to edit wiki pages.

We generally approve all requests to join. We would only deny a request if it came from a known vandal or spammer (and of course, we would immediately remove any spammers from the team once we discover them).
