Hi Karl,

I have reason to believe that you missed Juliens' emails about 12.10 and
what is in the air for 13.04, so I copy it below.

A pcmanfm 2.0 is not planned, but the fix for showing a clip of a video has
already been tackled and it seems there are a couple of bugs for when you
people do really odd things :P. The discussion window of what goes into
13.04 is a short time window (about 1 - 2 weeks from end of UDS).

We all have our favorite applications for lubuntu, I'm still quite keen on
the 'tiny resource' browser, but I do not think it is ready for 13.04, just
as I left it 'hanging in the air' to be discussed after 12.10. We get a
very short time window of people commenting on what they like / what they
don't like before the structure of the next release gets set and the
precious man hours of dev time is actually allocated. A lot got carried
over from 12.10, simply down to man-hours. Lubuntu does not have a full
time developer sponsored by a company. So, if anyone wins the lottery,
we're open to donations! Do not forget that our devs for lubuntu are pretty
much the devs for lxde, this has the advantage of making lx stuff 'happen'
more quickly, but does eat into those precious 'man hours'.

Anyways, Karl, take a good rest... get over the October blues, get your
batteries re-charged. Don't take what people like me and Walter say to
heart, you'll get used to us! In the meantime, concentrate on your studies,
that is most important.... Lubuntu is a family and as such will always be
here to welcome you back when you are ready.

Take good care, my friend,

Phill.

P.S. Re: your wiki page... maybe just put a "currently inactive" banner on
it?
