Three days have elapsed since the sending of this email and facing the fact
that no one has objected on the content of it, I gather that there are no
argues from the team to what was proposed.

Being so, me and knome will begin the process leading to the merge of the
NewDocs team to the umbrella Ubuntu documentation team.

It's intended to be a staged process and desirably without mishaps,
beginning with the renaming of the wiki page name and then, gradually,
deactivating the Launchpad team and its mailing list.
Of course this means that both Leigh and Geoff should join the Ubuntu
Documentation Contributors
team<https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-contributors> and
the Ubuntu Documentation Project Team <https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc> and
its mailing list.

While this process is on, I'll edit the team Launchpad page alerting people
to use the ubuntu-doc mailing list instead.
Also, #ubuntu-ops will be asked to forward our channel to #ubuntu-doc
channel.

I think that covers it all and hope that this next step, and growth, of the
project will make us all work harder on it's purpose, which is to make it a
even better learning medium and resource tool, versatile and fast.

Cheers,
David
