[amjjawad HOOHAA <amjjawad@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do agree with all what have been said/written.

With all the honesty in the world, I don't like the Wiki Pages.
Why?

1- I've been told it MUST be the main source of our information while there
are LOTS of missing information already, NOT to mention it is not organized
nor up to date.

2- One can't find what he/she is looking for easily.

3- The whole structure is bad IMHO.

4- When I tried to contribute to the Wiki Area, I have heard NOTHING but
bad negative and rude attitude so I decided NOT to touch it any more and
take care of Ubuntu Forum as that is where I belong.

5- There is NO dedicated team to maintain our Wiki

Perhaps these are the main reasons.

Again, to be honest, I have another thoughts and different approaches and
I'm having hard time to explain myself over and over again. Thus, I have
decided weeks ago to remain silent and do my job quietly.
I'm doing well on the forum and I'll keep it up, period.
I have so much plans to help Lubuntu Users on the Froum. Writing guides and
more.

I couldn't remain silent anymore.

I can't deny I do have my own style that is different big time than
everyone's style in this team but since this is a Team Work more than
anything else, I'm trying my best to learn more about this team, even more
than learning about Lubuntu which I breath daily.

I'm here as always and ready to help and take our Wiki to the next step but
WE do need to talk and discuss, period.

:)

Excuse my approach, I just couldn't resist.
