Which immediately brings me to my first point: I really don't have enough time to do some really serious stuff, besides not really having any useful skill. I do share the expectation that a council could work well for Xubuntu, provided that its members can really participate. The people mentioned until now have really proven that they are a really valuable part of the project, so I would really love them to join. (And I sometimes wonder what happened to Jozsef as well.) Furthermore, I'm excited to see another potential contributor, though I'd like to know J. Anthony Limon's first name ;-) Being a long time Xfce-user, I hope that you'll contribute in the #xubuntu IRC channel and the xubuntu-users mailinglist to help less experienced users. Another area where I think you could be very valuable (without knowing which other skills you might have :) is in documentation, so you might want to have a chat with Jim about that. Which brings me to my second point: could we expand the Documentation team to "User support" in general? Not sure whether it's really that necessary but it seems appropriate at first sight.
