This reply is mainly to Ali.  I think Chris is mostly on board, maybe
he's worried what the other wiki admins will think.

http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Startseite
take a look at that page.
What does that page do?  It's ubuntu.
Now,  I built my new page in moinmoin, because we use moinmoin and we
should just be able to cut and paste the page into the wiki.   I am
using the newest version of moinmoin.   Perhaps Chris can help educate
me there.

Yesterday, I asked Chris if it's ok to post a link to the forum from
the wiki.  After all, because the wiki is so small, naturally, most of
the important stuff is on the forum.
Chris said no-maybe.   This is a problem.  Not using stuff from the
forum makes fleshing out the wiki much harder.

I would like to help with LOST, but I can't possibly, because I can't
edit the thread, I can't recieve PM's to your account.  etc.
If we move some of the things from LOST, to the help.ubuntu.com, that
means I can keep them up to date, in my time zone.  Really, I'd also
be able to do a little cleaning up.

I really think you want help from other people on LOST, the best way
to do that is to put it on the wiki.
And if you look for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
scroll down to :
"Wikipedia's sister projects"

You will see  my page design (that i stole from ubuntuusers.de) isn't
all that radical.

I think we agree on the points
1. Ali, you want help with LOST
2. wiki pages could be easier to use
3. more wiki pages would be useful
4. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu is not  newbie friendly.
5. help.ubuntu.com is not that great.  (my page would replace it)

Really everyone that is on the "Lubuntu support team" should be using
the wiki.  I can't stress this enough.  Everyone that actually has
contact with users should own a wiki page, or be ready to create a
wiki page, if they come into a new issue.

Yes I will add a facebook link to the help/support homepage!
