I honestly don't see a huge problem. I find the documentation to be adequate. Of course in some instances the official Ubuntu documentation works for both Ubuntu and Lubuntu, other times not so much.

I think it's also fair to say that we must still rely on LXDE's own documentation for many things, and let's not forget that we're very young as a legitimate child of Ubuntu/Canonical ;^)

I suspect we'll garner more support from the Canonical devs as time goes along but some patience is needed. I know everyone is doing their best :^)

I'd personally defer to Phill W on this, if he's available. He helped bring us to the point of acceptance into the Canonical family and his voice means a lot to me.

As always, thanks to everyone for everything they do,

Lance

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.

to me, this begs the question of why we have a FAQ at all. there's no

reason there shouldn't be an LXDE-specific section to the general

"Ubuntu" wiki as it is relevant to LXDE. how many people have you come

across that run LXDE in Ubuntu rather than doing Lubuntu? it's often a

gateway to officially making the switch.



my problem with the "main" wiki is that it is often so GNOME-centric,

it's not always apparent whether or not something is truly applicable to

Lubuntu. so if we updated it for Lubuntu, there would be ONE place to go.



always the revolutionary,
