Hello Sensei,

Just to make sure no one will misunderstand my email:

1- I'm asking whether it is good or bad idea to give a hand to Mint to
restore their lost LXDE Spin whether this to be done by Lubuntu Team or it
is a collaborative work to be done by LXDE Team and/or any other community
who is interested. After all, I have sent a Q to Mint's Boss asking why
they did drop their LXDE Spin and did not yet get an answer to my Q.

2- The other way around for Watt OS. How about if they join us (Lubuntu)
and give us a hand? I too sent a suggestion for them to consider that but I
did NOT mention anything about Lubuntu. Just a general idea or option to
consider. After all, they are the only people will will make that choice
not us.


That is all :)
