Not sure why I can't update the wiki page with the contents in the txt file,
but here you have an updated list of project members. Please include it in your
LaTex documentation manual.

'''ToriOS''' is a user friendly, minimal and fast Linux distribution, aiming to
replace the old Windows XP. It will be based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The name was

[Torios] Contact Email
Hi Everyone, I'm having very hard and tough time with lots of emails. I think I am receiving daily more than 100 emails and my inbox is a real mess. That said, I decided to stop using 'amjja...@gmail.com' for ToriOS and this is my email that will be used for anything related to ToriOS Project: amjja...@torios.org Kindly update your Contact List and save this one and please don't send me on the old one. I am also thinking to use a different machine for ToriOS and other projects like StartUbuntu because it is getting harder for me to handle many projects on one machine.

I agree with you, as I previously stated, we should have all of the ToriOS branding( website, logo, artwork, etc...) established before we open up and push forward with the social media accts. I think it prudent to go ahead and establish the social media accts now( as you have done). I will wait for the "okay-everything is ready" signal and then proceed with starting social media. I will need: 1. the ToriOS website 2. the ToriOS forum website 3. and all other "contact us" and "how to participate" info. prior to starting I will update the blueprint to reflect this.

[Torios] Website Contact, Community, Join, etc...
Hi all, I recently added placeholder pages for those items in the site navigation bar... Now I am wondering what those pages should be. I am wondering if the *Community* page will be a hub for all the different ways to interact and get involved. Will it have the launchpad stuff, the mailing list, the G+, the Ubuntu Forums page, Ali's blog, a link to the IRC channel, etc? Is there a specific framework as to what I can put in there yet, or is this something that simply needs to be a place holder until we decide. The*Join* page, seems to me that it could simply be removed and the Community page could work to have both things *Contact* So, this page will be 1 of a few things (in my mind) 1. It will be a php/JavaScript form that someone fills in and 'Submits' and it e-mails the appropriate 'department' based on what the choose out of a drop down list. 2. Links to various e-mail/forum/IRC/etc... though leaving an e-mail link is not always the most advisable. 3. Some sort of comment page (though a forum is already this area. It seems that it may be nice to simply link to the IRC channel, and forums as we could avoid having a lot of e-mail traffic, though someone would have to be a forum moderator and read virtually everything that is posted, etc.. Though a community could take care of most of the Issues people have without need of the core team devoting time to that. Any feedback you have would be appreciated. I have updated the page a bit more (some of it superficial, some of it content.. mainly the Downloads section...) OH, and *News*. Ali, if you want to e-mail me the news in plain text, or whatever you like I will add it to the site. I think this will be a good simple way to do things for the time being. If we need to involve WP (or Drupal, etc...) we can in the future and tailor the news page to be the only place that uses WP, so the rest of the site can remain lighter. I will Update the News page to have a few more things, and we could possibly add some sort of way to update the content through a php form, like WP, but that is of course something that is not pressing. Simply getting news updates will be enough at this point.
