We are still looking for somebody to maintain the serverguide. I've

that's about it (and it's not my area of expertise). If you or somebody
on your team would like to take over control of these docs, that would
be awesome.
I asked about plans for the next release (in ubuntu-server m/l) and was
told that we will use the same model we used for Oneiric. This was
essentially asking (on the m/l) for people to review and update the
guide. So I'm not sure we're looking for a central maintainer. I
helped with 2 subchapters and will most likely take on the rest of that
chapter (for Precise) but let me know if help of another kind is needed.
This may be manageable for awhile, but we do still need somebody to
really take ownership who has a little more expertise with Ubuntu server
and server-related software. For now, let's just try to have the merge
requests is earlier - well in advance of string freeze so that the
requests can be reviewed, modified if needed, and committed before
string freeze takes effect.
It was great that the server team provided us with doc updates this
release, even if many were too late for string freeze. Now we're all on
the same page, and I'm sure we can pull it together sooner next release.
I'm still puzzled by this. Does it matter or does it not matter that
this server documentation is no longer shipped in the archive (up to,
and including, Lucid, there was a 'ubuntu-serverguide' package). It's
provided via help.ubuntu.com now.
Matthew mentioned in a separate part of this email thread that it does
still matter because the serverguide is open to translation for other
communities to post online or elsewhere if they wish. It also makes
maintenance and scheduling easier to be consistent across the board.
That said, it is probably easier to get string freeze exceptions now for
the serverguide, but it still requires the approval of the translators
team, adding more time and work for everybody involved.

I think the current model of farming out reviews and updates to m/l has
been successful and should be continued. However, someone still needs to
do the management part of all that (pad, updates, communications, merge
proposals ...etc). For Oneiric I worked on that, and there was a very
limited time budget. For 12.04 things should be much better. If anyone
is interested in taking over this serverguide-manager position, please
step-up. I have a single volunteer atm, however I'll probably be sending
a call-out soon
Thanks
