I have a few questions regarding the forums:

1. In the DE-specific sections, why is there a separate sub-section called Desktop Support? what's the difference between that and the main part of the DE-specific section?
2. If I want to post KDE/Kubuntu news and info, where should I post it? It's not really "support" in the strict sense, since it won't be for solving problems, so the Kubuntu Support section might be inappropriate. It's not really that off-topic either to be put in Ubuntu Cafe.

It seems to be an "anything not related to hardware" section.

Members post Gnome/Ubuntu news all the time in the Ubuntu Support forum section and AFAIK it never gets moved (unless it is off topic to that category), so I'd see no reason why you shoudn't do the same with your particular desktop envrionment.

Really, those forum sections could be better outlined but we are a work in progress. :)

It seems to be an "anything not related to hardware" section. Umm... well, if the desktop is for non-hardware related questions, the main DE-specific sub-section is for hardware-related questions? But the posts there (at least in Kubuntu) don't follow this. Also, there's a Hardware Help section already, right?

Oh, well, just confused...
