Ted,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your bug report. As Linux becomes less of a developers platform and more a mainstream OS I think it is important that we pay attention to your point exactly. I cant think of a distro where this would be more relevant. Ubuntu has the greatest chance of all the Linux distros to become commonplace in the desktop market. Therefore it is important that we pay attention to exactly the point you make.

Also I would like to applaud you on your eagerness to volunteer to help with Ubuntu. What makes Ubuntu, and all open source software, so great is the wide range of people who contribute to the process. If you are interested in helping with documentation check this link out.

There are two types of Ubuntu documentation, the system documentation and the wiki documentation. The Wiki Documentation is a community edited resource that anyone can edit. I would recommend getting your "sea legs" there. As you get experience and start talking to some of the Documentation Team members you can continue editing the Wiki Documentation or you can join the Documentation Team and start helping with the System Documentation.
