[lubuntu-users] [Bug 1608306] Re: Confusing for users with many websites

[Walter Lapchynski]

@phillw You seem to be confused. If you look at the comments above,
you'll find that the issue is not about finding the latest releases.
That's the problem that GetLubuntu seeks to solve and it mostly does
that (except for the fact that lubuntu.net includes direct links to
images, which some users will just click on without actually clicking on
the links to GetLubuntu).

The problem that this bug describes is that users cannot easily find
(from Google, for example), which website is the official website for
*any* sort of information, images or otherwise. Since it's not specific
to images, GetLubuntu doesn't solve that. I don't say this to suggest
that GetLubuntu is broken or serves no purpose or isn't worthwhile. It's
just irrelevant to this bug. That said, please don't hijack the
conversation.

As for Mario, he's using what even lubuntu.net itself describes as a
Canonical trademark. We are currently in conversations with him to
redirect or link to lubuntu.me from lubuntu.net. However, if he's
unwilling or unresponsive, the next step to ensure that our users are
happy is to talk to Canonical legal and let them have at it. One way or
another, something will happen.

Title:
  Confusing for users with many websites

Status in Lubuntu Artwork:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi! I have used Lubuntu for many years and thought the lubuntu.net
  webstte was the official site for lubuntu. I have subscribed to the
  RSS feed to get news, but lately, there have been very few. Recently,
  I discovered the lubuntu.me website. It seems more active and the blog
  is up to date on news. There is no indication on either that they are
  not official, but on the bottom of both, there seems to be information
  pointing towards both being owned by individuals, not by the Lubuntu
  project. This makes it hard to know which is the official site, if
  any. Would it not be less confusing for users to have one website and
  make the other address redirect to it?
