Scott: Sorry I don't agree with making awkward to understand release statements. "Official XFCE Announcement suggests to reader, the program exists already. Had Ubuntu Studio announced we *officially intend to build & release an XFCE UbuStudio in Sept 2011 *that would leave no one in the dark. Why go to Scott blog to review what the UbuStudio team intends? Stop the game playing!
I contributed to last Saturday's 7 AM developer meeting @ 5:45 AM. There was no prelude to XFCE in the pre-meeting release. Can't review my XFCE Studio used and built about 3 years back. I put it aside. An not a developer; but I believe a few errors were reported to launchpad. I cannot say if any are a matter of record. I left XFCE for an OS meeting my in house needs. Wish the team good luck. At age 72 I don't have time for bewildering experiences. Must personally try to work my life plan. No, I think XFCE Studio stinks. My comments are intended to suggest, major drawbacks to an xfce-based UbuStudio OS. Based on experience, I say that OS appears to be pie in the sky view. It appears to have little team support. This is from me a user, non-developer. No I can't explain, explain, explain as my plate is very, very full. Thanks. Good day.
