[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiyas,

we'll get Wubi included. They were (correctly, really) the last team to
accept lubuntu as part of the family, as Wubi only lists 'official'
flavours. I was just concerned that lubuntu had fallen off!

We've got a re-write of GetLubuntu to do for 12.10 for all that page. We'll
make sure Wubi is listed.

--- I'm now on a kanliot hunt, let me know if you spot him :P

thanks,

Phill.
