Call for Testing - MenuLibre

[Tiago Ribeiro]

Hi Sean,
Just installed menulibre and the first edits I did (tested on both Whisker
Menu and Applications Menu) worked flawlessly.
Will report any bugs if found.
Keep up the good work.


Regards,
Tiago

Nelson Mandela explained Ubuntu as follows:
“A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have
to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food,
entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various
aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves.
The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the
community around you to be able to improve?"
