[lubuntu-devel] LXQt wiki area

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Walter,

we have exactly ONE page for LXQt.... How is having two operating systems
running side by side a better case of having two wiki areas? We are
committed to Qt and it appears Ubuntu are committed to moving from Moinmoin
to MediaWiki. Have a look at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/PrePostReleaseTODO and tell me
how the hell am I supposed to add in LXQt running along side the GTK
ones...

In my heart, I cannot see any reason NOT to have LXQt on the newer
MediaWiki system and keep our LTS's etc on moin. This does give everyone
just under 18 months to decide if we go to Qt or not. Alf is quietly
confident that it will be ready, and I do have faith in him and Julien

As for maintaining?... We will have an official release (GTK) and a
community respin (Qt). This may be new to some, but us old wrinklies
remember them.

There is no better time for lubuntu to run dual wiki systems as to when we
are running dual ISO's and ensure bugs are reported to the correct version.

Regards,

Phill.
