I do see questions here about other platforms, and Mate, but they kinda 
get lost.

one needs watch daily, or more often.

UbuntuMATE is quite different, they don't use the full suite of Mate

Most of the Ubuntu derivatives do the same, often loosing functions and 
features in the process.

a more central location for Mate specific Q&A would be welcome
