I'm taking into consideration that you are working on much else than just  
Ubuntu Studio, and you need to take care of your shool studies as well. I  
wouldn't want to burden you with too many tasks :)
But if you feel up to it, please feel free to take it upon yourself to  
maintain the Ubuntu Studio desktop. This would mean going through all the  
desktop specific stuff, and see whether we are lacking in something or not.
The simple approach is to just derive from Xubuntu, as we have done, and  
make sure we have full functionality.

I guess there are two Ubuntu Studio parameters to take into account.

* We prefer performance over looks, so if desktop FX ruin performance, no  
desktop FX on by default.And on the more technical side, if there are  
non-vital desktop services running in the background that makes  
performance suffer, those should also be disabled.

* The custom main menu does not necessarily need to be maintained by the  
same person working on the desktop stuff, and currently Len is the person  
who is most involved in that. I have the wish that the main menu, and the  
application starters follow freedesktop standards as closely as possible,  
and if we need further categorization, we work on getting those to be  
standardized. This is sort of a long term thing to commit to.

Other than that, just make sure all the tools are there, and of course, if  
you find bugs, try to get them fixed. If we find something lacking, or we  
have suggestions, since we are deriving from Xubuntu, a natural thing for  
us to do would be to work with Xubuntu on that.
