> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/StrategyDocument The central questions are the reason of existence of Xubuntu and what sets it apart from other offerings. Especially compared to Ubuntu or Xfce using distributions. For our job here, the only useful thing I see in the document is the focus on performance. An outcome of using fewer resources should be better performance and making high performance part of the message will avoid the "only for old hardware" fallacy. You don't dare to focus on any particular group of users. I think you should, as there are so many for everything and everyone distributions out there. Anyway, do you know about tendencies in the actual group of Xubuntu users? Ok, so we want to express high performance. But not performance by brute force, no big machines, but rather by making the most of what you get, by being small and light.
