Bug Description
Hi! I have used Lubuntu for many years and thought the lubuntu.net webstte was the official site for lubuntu. I have subscribed to the RSS feed to get news, but lately, there have been very few. Recently, I discovered the lubuntu.me website. It seems more active and the blog is up to date on news. There is no indication on either that they are not official, but on the bottom of both, there seems to be information pointing towards both being owned by individuals, not by the Lubuntu project. This makes it hard to know which is the official site, if any. Would it not be less confusing for users to have one website and make the other address redirect to it?

When you Google Lubuntu (what probably the most users do) then the lubuntu. net site comes on top and the http:// lubuntu. me site comes
http://
in 5th place.
What I find strange is that the Lubuntu.net site offers the 16.04 release
and the Lubuntu.me site offers the 16.04.1 release.
Why is the Lubuntu.net site lagging behind, because most users will
probably download the old release.
Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards,
Jan Holtman
