By all means, count me in! I stumbled onto E just after 13.x was
expunged from existance, and managed to snatch up the E14 demo
before it too disappeared (or did it?...so hard to keep all the
recent releases and un-releases straight, between E & gnome).
Incidentally, the code for the E14 demo looks very clean &
modular. I have no idea what the code for E13.x looked like, but
I have a feeling there's no comparison. So, when the time comes,
put my name in the hat.
A couple quick questions....what's the going rate on
/*comments*/? I don't expect much in an open-source demo, but
how much energy are you guys going to expend towards commenting
up the release version?
Also, with the sliding desktops, are there plans to have them
slide from different directions? Left-to-right would be cool.
Another thing I noticed is that if you have, say, three desktops
partially open, like this:
-----------
| A
-----------
| B
|
|
-----------
| C
===========
(C is on top) If you bring B to the foreground (i.e. click on
the up-arrow), C becomes unreachable unless you drag B waaayyyy
down below C. Well, I guess that's not such a horrible thing,
unless you have 4-8 desktops hanging around back there. My point
is, it'd be nice to have an X-Ray mode that would temporarily
float the existing (normally hidden) bars to the top (wouldn't
need the desktop images). Then you could pick the hidden one you
needed, and bring it to the top. Kind of a
partially-open-desktop-frame-bar-browser.
Anyway, that's my peace. I've said it.
