The problem with each of these documents is that they do not offer the clarity of statement that a simple and direct FAQ would. And I authored one of the documents mentioned here :). Questions that come to mind are things like:
1) What is the mission of Lubuntu 2) What are the baseline system requirements To which I would like to suggest 64m ram/256m disk, and 800x576 resolution (hence covering old traditional 800x600 and netbook 1024x576...) as both a goal and challenge for this team... etc... Something like that is what I had meant about the need for a FAQ.
