Re-development of Lubuntu.net [Re: Clipboard manager or similar]

[Cyber Penguin]

The Xubuntu people are going in the right direction. They already had a
good site and it is only getting better:

- No behind-the-scenes news in the public like details on how development
is taking place.
- Information that matters to the reader, not what the author himself want
to vent.
- Only new news (almost). Aged news is worse than nothing.
- 'Get involved' is present, but discrete and not intimidating people.
- and a lot of other +1's.

Though, I would like a holding-the-hand-section where a beginner is guided
through his first encounter with Xubuntu (contrary to reading about it,
which does not qualify as a encounter).

The Xubuntu people are good in creating initial interest for the OS. With a
little more focus on the very last step (the conversion itself) the site
would be excellent.

We should welcome the inspiration from older brother Xubuntu and maybe get
into some formal cooperation. After all, free and open software is about
recycling code.


Regards
CP.
