I do agree with all what have been said/written. With all the honesty in the world, I don't like the Wiki Pages. Why?
1- I've been told it MUST be the main source of our information while there are LOTS of missing information already, NOT to mention it is not organized nor up to date. 2- One can't find what he/she is looking for easily. 3- The whole structure is bad IMHO. 4- When I tried to contribute to the Wiki Area, I have heard NOTHING but bad negative and rude attitude so I decided NOT to touch it any more and take care of Ubuntu Forum as that is where I belong. 5- There is NO dedicated team to maintain our Wiki Perhaps these are the main reasons. Again, to be honest, I have another thoughts and different approaches and I'm having hard time to explain myself over and over again. Thus, I have decided weeks ago to remain silent and do my job quietly. I'm doing well on the forum and I'll keep it up, period. I have so much plans to help Lubuntu Users on the Froum. Writing guides and more. I couldn't remain silent anymore. I can't deny I do have my own style that is different big time than everyone's style in this team but since this is a Team Work more than anything else, I'm trying my best to learn more about this team, even more than learning about Lubuntu which I breath daily. I'm here as always and ready to help and take our Wiki to the next step but WE do need to talk and discuss, period. :) Excuse my approach, I just couldn't resist.
