There is no reply in the form of a mail, but someone has edited the text about PAE, that I requested on the page Lubuntu.net. The edit is done in a positive way (improving the text). So there is response. Who edited the page?

Has he got a password to edit the page or is he asking Mario Behling to edit the page (in private communications)? What does Julien think about our activity? Maybe he does not want us to get control of Lubuntu.net.

If you feel comfortable with Lubuntu Blog, it is fine with me. -o- I will probably stick to looking after the 'One Button Installer', 'Lubuntu fake-PAE' and 'How to make USB boot drives' alias 'mkusb' - developing the code - maintaining tutorials at the Ubuntu Forums - maintaining wiki pages I might help with other tasks too, when and if something has 'highest priority': some simple development task, testing, wiki page editing (beyond 'my own' wiki pages) ... > So, what do you think? > > And, as you may know, it is very easy to focus and drag everyone's > attention to the blog ;) > On Wiki Area and Social Media (Facebook, Google+ and Twitter), we can > make an announcement that Lubuntu Blog is our main channel and let the > website idle as it is. > > Few days ago, I changed the access for Mario from Facebook Page Manager to: > Mario Behling > Insights Analyst > <https://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=105956559439428&tab=admin_roles#> > Mario can view insights. > > He did not send me yet asking why is that which proves he is either not > interested, or very busy, or inactive and if you ask me, the > managers/admins roles must be given to active people :) > > Don't get me wrong, my good friends but you see, I am doing my best here > and sharing all my thoughts with you but I am NOT a superman, I can't do > everything all by myself.
