[documentation] Redefining the "docs team"

[Addison Berry]

Ok, so we define the "docs team" as anyone who actually contributed to  
docs in some way. ;-) So if you want to be "on the team" you need to  
edit/create docs. In that respect, this: http://drupal.org/node/14205  
and this: http://drupal.org/node/263594, is our docs team. I've no  
problem changing the wording of the profile linky.

On a side note, I'd like to just consolidate the "contributor" and  
"editor" pages into one list. Having them separate isn't terribly  
useful to me. We should also note that right now, the numbers printed  
after the names of contributors are pretty much inaccurate and  
useless, so I'd like to remove them. I think one page that lists  
everyone (create and edit0 is fine. If we want a number for ranking,  
we can use one number indicating the number of handbook pages  
"touched," whether it be initial creation or editing, with only one  
touch per page (as in, no "I made 5 minor edits to one page so I get 5  
credits." - you just get 1 credit per page).
