Hi Mario,

as the people on (mainly) IRC support are pretty quick at editing and adding
things to the wiki area (The main support guys even keep an FAQ area) I'd
suggest the following.

We simply link "Get Lubuntu" on lubuntu.net to the wiki page for it
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Downloading%20Lubuntu
A mention is made of the FAQ's as found by the support team that they keep
updated as new FAQ's arise
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ
The main support pages for Lubuntu have now moved to their new home at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation

The remaining headers to Get Involved, Developers etc. Have not moved (nor
am I aware of any intention to move them!).

If you are ageeable to this I'll set them up. I promise to be careful not to
break anything!

@Leszek, I have noticed some of the screen casts are available in more
options on lubuntu.net than the wiki area, is it worthwhile updating the
information on the wiki area to point to these instead? (I'm not sure if you
have a full list all done yet).

Regards,

Phill.
