Hi all,

I apologize for my delay in proposing an actual change to our current wiki
structure. However, life hasn't been easy on me.

Anyway, to more important matters:
I have organized our Wiki in a tree-sort of file. Please see attach if you
ever need it.​
 Wiki Map - Current
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/137rSPItygfpOeLQooBKLIjxDhpGwJJdpjfB70Agn_Hg/edit?usp=drive_web>
​
Our Wikis are both very similar and I am not going to refer to it in terms
of content. However, I do have to mention that most of the information is
slightly lost since people are using it to put important information for
the groups. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/ is a good example.
That page, instead of being something about the Developers team - as it
should be - is an internal road map of duties and tasks.
Therefore, here is a short list of changes for our Wiki (I will mention the
Community wiki too):

- First, check if any team page is consistent with its purpose. So, if we
need pages for each team, we will create. Otherwise, it makes no sense to
forward people to Team pages but, instead, they'll find internal
information - Like the case of Lubuntu/Developers;

- Update each team pages in regard to leaders/coordinators;

- Create a particular section for internal purposes - Take the content from
Lubuntu/Developers, divide into each team and post into a specific page.
Something like Lubuntu/Internal. If this part goes upfront, I believe it
would be wise to make everything even better. For instance, there was no
road map for point releases. So, in 14.02, it was a complete mess as the
Wiki team was not aware of what it was suppose to do. I've created that
page and it will be included very soon (needs revision);

- I'm proposing to create a page for the Admin Team. I am not sure why it
was never created before, but I assume there is a reason for that.

- I'm also proposing to create a sort-of Press Page (something like
wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Press) so that we can use the content from the
Marketing & Artwork pages. Once again, these pages should be about the
teams, and not tasks developed.

- In regard to the Wiki from the Community, I am going to propose to keep
the same structure and phrasing from the "official" wiki, avoiding future
confusions in one's head. The Community Wiki as a completely different
style of writing. Not saying that it is wrong, but it can cause confusion.
Also, external linking will remain the same, since most of these go to
Ubuntu's Wiki.

And that should be it for now. I sent this message to all of you, to make
sure everybody agrees with this structure since this will change a lot of
things around.
Thank you for your time reading and I apologize for the huge wall of text.
