I don’t understand why you should update documentation when there’s no new functionality getting added. How many releases can you keep showing the same documentation. I truly understand that it’s not a xubuntu problem but you can hardly do anything about it.fedora has a Xfce spin and it does not contain all those cosmetics so even if it’s a LTS release I see no point in doing these wallpaper and color work

Awesome, thank you Andrew! :)

Speaking of mugshot, awhile back I was making a sweep through the debian-mentors archive for packages that have been waiting for a sponsor for a long time. mugshot peaked my interest, but unfortunately there were some packaging issues that a previous reviewer brought up with no response from the Xubuntu dev who uploaded it.

If ya’ll need a sponsor for uploads to Debian, feel free to email directly. Helping Ubuntu folks contribute back to Debian is something I always try to do…

Please try to keep your comments civil. Many of our contributors do contribute upstream to make improvements (one developed mugshot to make it easier for folks to change their profile image, which will be included in 14.04, several of us keep an eye on and pitch in with Debian packaging, another contributor maintains the PPAs so when 4.12 is available people will be able to install it in 14.04). Our documentation team also works hard to produce the valuable documentation that we release.

And it’s important to understand that an LTS is not just packages maintained by Xubuntu, it’s the entire core of Ubuntu that Xubuntu sits on too – display manager, kernel, libraries. So we can’t just arbitrarily decide what release will be an LTS. Now, the Xubuntu LTS is only 3 years and the next LTS opportunity won’t be until after our last LTS has been expired for a year, which doesn’t work for us or our commitment to our users.
