I'd like to see the Lubuntu Manual project take off. With that in mind, I'm also including lubuntu-users in this conversation. We have had a long-running need for some people to take a very active role in helping with the wiki and documentation. Many of us who contribute in other ways help out with this, but no one is really leading the vision, or is necessarily there to take big bites off of the TODO list (more like nibbles). We're putting band-aids on when we really need to replace the whole member. That being said, if there is anyone out there interested in helping out with the team, please get in touch. I don't care what experience you've had or how long you've been a user or how old you are or whatever. What's needed is motivation and drive, the ability to communicate effectively in English (that doesn't mean you have to be a native English speaker) and a tendency towards organization. All other training and/or technical assistance will be provided. If there is 1 person or 1000, all help will be appreciated. If you're even considering this or wondering if you're the right person for the job, please get in touch. I encourage you of all, Ian! Thanks everyone! On Wed, Feb 17, 2016 at 12:48 PM, Phill.

I lied. A last-minute bug found with the bcmwl dkms driver on the lts-wily kernel led to one more respin. Those should be coming out shortly for all flavours. This is pretty much guaranteed to be the last one, as we're about out of time, so please give them at least light smoketesting to make sure they boot/etc. ...
