[gentoo-dev] Desktop research project, dead?

Are/were there some people involved in that project?
It could be useful and pretty to (re)activate this project, considering that
also gentoo-guis project is active (the two projects are actually related).
I've some ideas about, I'll write it after you'll tell me (if you want) why
the project's dead and if we(or you) can indeed (re)activate it.

and finally, are there people that want to work in that project in future?

Cheers ^^

sorry if you received these mails as html format.
Maybe it's a problem related to gmail. I'll try resolving it tomorrow.

There certainly were some people involved. I was involved on the sidelines as 
I didn't have time to do more at that time already. I think it basically died 
out because it tried to do things that were quite ambitious and as such had a 
strong timeline. And that with very few people involved. The only thing that 
came out of the project (and, to be fair, other projects too) was the 
installer that basically joined forces with other installer people and went 
it's own way.

How does this relate to the #gentoo-desktop IRC channel?

Well I am definitely interested in better integration (especially after gvim
and then mousepad took over my KDE editor settings.. mimetypes yeah, but
leave my desktop settings alone, please ;) I can help with code (although I
have an aversion to C++, I can debug it if i /have/ to.)
