   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Bugs/OneiricOcelot

==== Website & Marketing ====

 * beardygnome brought up the ability to add the Xfce news feed to the
   Xubuntu website. This seems like a very good idea, since Xubuntu is
   based on Xfce, and it would help to keep us informed of any changes
   being planned.

 * we're testing the imgcapt plugin, please contact knome for
   information

 * finished the compact xfwm4 theme (good as alternative for netbooks
   etc., 18px height instead of 24px)
 * added full support for compiz (emerald and metacity themes)
 * looking into gtk3 again in oneiric, will need to write a gtk3
   specific version of the theme
 * there's a git-repo for greybird
  * https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird
 * can themes be added to a ppa so when an update to the theme is
   done we can see it on the update manager?

   update it.
