Non-silence from me as well. This effort of organization is LONG overdue, thank you, thank you, thank you. The Wiki really did grow without any structure or guidance. I'll try to give some time to reviewing your changes - feel free to bounce ideas off me as well if you're unsure of things. As for the Upgrade/Installation page, both Feisty and Gutsy are no longer officially supported so any materials for those anywhere on the wiki can happily be deleted. I also think the upgrade process doesn't really need to be split into release versions, it did back when Ubuntu Studio first started, but not any more, so those pages could be combined into one. -Eric -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
