I say its time to dump lubuntu software center for deepin software center

Mon Oct 29 20:49:59 UTC 2012

Hi Hitesh,

LSC is being developed by a team [1], they are the drivers of that
application. That it comes under the Lubuntu / lxde banner does not really
pull resources away. It is a project that they wish to develop and as with
all volunteers, they are free to spend their time on projects that are of
interest to them.

Regards,

Phill.
