Hello Arpad, I think you are talking about this<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu>:)
My email about Lubuntu 10.04 has nothing to do with my campaign about Windows XP :D It is true that Lubuntu would be our strongest tools in this huge project but after renaming the project from Start Lubuntu to Start Ubuntu, we would have 8 options instead of just one :D The Wiki Page is updated now, have a look<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu>if you wish :) Thank you!
