When I sent that massive email about StartUbuntu months ago, almost everyone asked me WHY it is under Lubuntu Communications Team and NOT a general team for example? this will confuse people and they may think it is Lubuntu Specific project. Not to mention, the Wiki Page itself lives under Lubuntu Wiki :) I am very much willing to move the Wiki Page to a more general area. But, I will not do that unless I get enough votes to create a new team on Launchpad for StartUbuntu. On that note, I end my rant.
