Re: xubuntu-users

At http://www.xubuntu.org/help it already says that you can join the Ubuntu-users mailinglists to get help.

Indeed this was more appropiate mail for ubuntu-users or a LP bug as
Daniel said. It would have been just as off-topic in xubuntu-users
because it deals with non-xubuntu bits, so it has a lot more chances of
getting answered on the ubuntu users list. Mails which are about Xfce or
xubuntu specific software are handled on this list and now I tend to
agree it would be better to have them elsewhere, but I think
ubuntu-users is the place for them. Besides the obvious common apps we
have with ubuntu, many of the ubuntu users try out thunar, abiword and
gnumeric at least so there would be enough common themes.

So how about this: advertise on the site that ubuntu-users is for
xubuntu user support. In a moths or so this will show how many of the
people who needed a xubuntu user support list did not subscribe so far
because of no obviously named list existed.If the xubuntu traffic on
ubuntu-users tends to grow so much as to seem to add noise to what is
generally being discussed there we can create a new list and have the
users subscribe there.

Btw any estimates about how many of the 80-90 people on #xubuntu are
subscribed to ubuntu-users?
