Ubuntu-qa Digest, Vol 27, Issue 13

[Vikram Dhillon]

No problems :) its actually a good thing that people tell us that
there's something wrong with our wiki pages, that actually one of our
biggest concerns right now, we don't know how we are doing because
there's no proper way to judge our work, its only an occasional
feedback that we get which helps us to improve our pages. So thank you
:)

For bugs, try reading these: [1], [2]. If you have any question, just ask.
