hi Ali, The error on saving is a known bug. but it does save, it is a pain as it only appears infrequently and they have not managed to find the cause of it. The making of the page was via the Ubuntu Beginners Team, as I noted to you. Whilst I am no longer actively involved with UBT I would really recommend that you make your self known to them.
As you join the *buntu system more closely, there will come a time that we ask that you sign the Code of Conduct. In my conversations with you, I know that you will abide by it & the signing of it. Do read it carefully, fully understand and be proud of signing. As I have also said, whilst we do have Mentors via UBT in Lubuntu, they are not really able to take on any more new comers at the moment. (I do have a plan that may be able to get you to one of them). I will try my best to get you a mentor for UBT, but it is a case of so many wanting to join and not enough mentors. Whilst you await a mentor, I will assist you in every way I can. In the meantime, please join both the Lubuntu mailing list at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ContactUs and follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership @ Lubuntueers with UBT, keep an eye on him - he may be your next trainee. @council, hopefully we can take him in 'in-house', but I've learned to have a plan 'B'.
