Xubuntu Website Development (Was: Xubuntuguide.org)

Fri Nov 3 21:41:57 UTC 2006

I say we go with a separate xubuntuguide. There are some notes on how to do
certain things on Kubuntu or Xubuntu on ubuntuguide but they also don't have
a separate Kubuntu section there. Plus, it would require even more
communication, which wouldn't speed up the process.

Now who was the nice guy offering to use that domain?
