<br>It still needs a lot of work. Once the release occurs, Vincent (or another website editor) will copy the contents of the page to the website.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>No, we are lacking these as well as the release artwork. I'll try to<br>
come up with something for tomorrow regarding the artwork.<br></blockquote><div><br>Great, thanks!<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Unfortunately our sprint for the Karmic release hasn't been as good as<br>
one might have hoped for. To be honest, I think there are several<br>
glitches we just let go in Karmic, because nothing as magical as with<br>
Jaunty happened this time. Maybe it was time to keep a quieter release<br>
after our fantastic 9.04!<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree with this assessment. Some releases are more noisy and energetic then others. Its also true that there are a few bugs that I would have liked to have gotten fixed and which will probably be SRU candidates. All around including the other derivatives I think karmic introduces a lot of great features, great bug fixes, but also introduces a number of feature regressions and new bugs. This is necessary to make progress unfortunately.<br>
<br>Lastly, I think we've come closer together as a team and have learned how to better work with each other. Theres a lot of value to that and I think Lucid will be an absolutely amazing LTS release as a result. <br>
