[Lubuntu-comms] Wiki Editing / meeting

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Nio,

Sergio has been busy with real life (it happens). One of the pluss's of
having sub-teams is that they can discuss things without people who have no
interest being 'spammed' with heart felt discussions :) The minus side is
that if you are not on that mailing list, you have no idea as to if a
sub-team is actively discussing things, or not.

The last email that was sent out to general group from wiki team was for
people to proof read the +1 pages that Sergio has prepared. Also noted have
been  the results of things like OBI as to what resources it needs to
install etc.

The edits you have been made have not been deleted, they are still there :)
I apologise as it seems my phrasing was not what it should have been. you
are, indeed, a valued and hard working member of lubuntu.

Regards,

Phill.
