Hello Craig,
Welcome to the Ubuntu Manual Project! We are always in need of new
authors and editors, so we are very glad you want to become a
contributor.
Patrick has already answered your email, but here is some additional
information.
Ideally, we want each chapter to have at least one author and one
editor. Huge chapters, like the Ubuntu Desktop and Working with Ubuntu
are divided into sections which each should have an author/editor pair
too.
On this spreadsheet (1) you can see how it works.
Now as for Saucy, we will start as soon as possible; you will be
informed through this mailing list.
Welcome aboard.
Hannie
