[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

just to clarify... the likes of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers
are the internal communication pages for the 'back room' staff.
The likes of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation are
community docs, for general public to look up how to's, FAQ etc. It is a
subtle difference and did cause headaches when I was told that having
'community' help page on the dev area was not the correct formatting for
the two systems. You can link from one to the other in wiki documentation,
but they are pretty darn separate systems (even different CSS system).

Hope that helps,

Phill.
