    Any help to improve the wiki is welcome :) I'm not against the "Howto"
    section, I just would like to slim the main page a bit. For example, I
    think the Xubuntu or page on the wiki is quite nice :
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu

I have a mentor from the ubuntu-docs team, I'm sure he will ensure any postings are both factually correct & conform to layout :-)
    And there is a Docs section ;) But we should also check what is
    done on
    the wiki for Ubuntu, because many tutorials could be re-use by
    Lubuntu.

    I plan to do some updates before the release, I'll try to add a
    "Documentation" section so you can add you contribution :)

Release date is close, I am about to get tied up with 10.04 launch, it'd just be nice to point people over to a wiki page and not my own personal area, which was 'not so good an idea'? I'd really like to be able to (and so would others from the support people) have a set of "How To's" For example after the "We will not support dual screens" that is now there in preferences, If someone would be kind enough to fill that one in, I have a large gaping hole on mine, that was in my "Things you can do that are totally unsupported"
Can we link wiki pages to screen casts ?

Yes, I know all the above is dead boring, but we're going to have n00bs hit lubuntu & they are going to need their hands holding.

I'm having a chat with a couple of people regarding how to make a minimal iso with lubuntu on, but with the onset of 10.04 release they're a bit busy.

Regards,

Phill.

Hello all,

I've been away from the project for a while because of various chaotic influences in my life. I'm intent on getting re-involved. I will pay some attention to the wiki ASAP, including setting up the documentation section, as suggested.

Cheers
David
