I got bored the other night so I decided to start converting some howtos over to docbook, this is what I have so far, check it out.

I'll probably grow this site quite a bit in the next few weeks.

if anyone would like to help I would love to hear.

Please feel free to contribute to the existing documentation resources - combining our efforts is much more efficient. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam

or pop on over to the Ubuntu Document Storage Facility (http://doc.gwos.org). If you're interested let me know and I'll point you in the right direction to start contributing to the project.

Why not rather update the official wiki ? I believe it is the better option.

Contribute were you want I say create your own site. Different styles of documentation are a good thing. There will never be a #1 place for anything, if there was we would be living in a dull and boring society.. It's as simple as that.

While I agree with you in this I also think my site will be valuable contribution.
I think that also I my site will include alot of tip and howtos that may not be appropriate for the official wiki. Plus all the howto's on the site will be foramatted in the same manner so they will be easier and more accecible to new users. The official wiki is great but I want to add my own flavor to Ubuntu, stylistically at least.

A lil' good old competition is great :)
Your site seems down for the moment though, know about this?
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at jimmyjazz.homeip.net:808.
