See: > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/UbuntuFriendlyNotebooks > As an aside, this sort of cross-team learning is one solid example of why it is nice to use the one wiki and not have each team separated off into separate work areas (wiki or otherwise). I regularly scan
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecentChanges which gives a reasonable overview of what's happening in Ubuntu-land on a given day, and that's exactly how I discovered the Australian team's initiatives.

Fragmentation of ideas and work spaces will lead to fragmented and/or duplicative efforts.
