You have great ambitions, amjjawad. Good luck :-) I want to help in this project, but I'm busy being a parent, and I can easily get very occupied. There are periods, when I have time, and I can certainly test Lubuntu on hardware of different age. I hope I can also contribute in discussions and plans to develop Lubuntu. I am also trying to help people at the Ubuntu Forums to run Lubuntu and/or Xubuntu on old hardware.
And I think Lubuntu is not only for old computers with slow CPUs, small RAM and small or full hard drives. It is also offers a possibility to play high definition video on 'middle-aged' computers, where standard Ubuntu is too heavy for such tasks. Lubuntu offers another balance between speed and eye-candy that suits many end-users. Maybe we could offer a meta-package to include extra/alternate software for such users. (I do it now by installing xubuntu-desktop and the individual packages, but it is not optimal, e.g. there are several doublets in the menus.)
