Artwork, documentation, marketing, websites, and everything else can now be found on the [[https://github.com/xubuntu|Xubuntu GitHub]]! ==== Translations ==== The second piece of the code migration was managing our translations. Easier than ever, our translations can now be found in a single place, on [[https://www.transifex.com/xubuntu/public/|Transifex]]! ==== Documentation ==== With a small team of new contributors, we worked on revamping our documentation this cycle. Every chapter received a number of updates and improvements, all of which can currently be found on [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10nsLPokttFjG9g4x4mLBYNkTyO0izy5H|Google Drive]]. We [[https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs/tree/docs-refresh|started migrating]] it to Docbook, but didn't finish due to technical complications and time constraints. If you're a Docbook expert, we'd love the help! ===== Removals ===== ==== LibreOffice Tango Theme ==== Users of the LibreOffice Tango theme will find that it is no longer included in Xubuntu. However, it is still available to install from the repositories. Install in Xubuntu: sudo apt install libreoffice-style-tango ===== Updates ===== //Significant package and version updates.
