This is a good question. I would also like to help the enlightenment project. But I don't know where I could help. I'm a little experienced with programming C and C++, but getting involved with such a big project isn't easy. Translating apps and documentation is perhaps also possible I think. I observed the enlightenment website for a long time and I read here for some time. Everyday I look at the news page if there are new messages. My gentoo box has always the newest EFL ebuilds compiled and I use some E17 apps (e.g. iconbar). Sometimes I look at the webcvs and see how much active the E-people are. So nobody could say you're lazzy people! But I didn't understand the progress of each library and E itself. I read here in the hope to see why there is no E window manager. And there must be any reason! Why is there no status page with information how complete (percentage?) a library is? Why isn't it possible to start programming E? Which lib isn't finished and why? Please answer my questions. This is no flame! I really like to help and spend some time and other would to this also I think. > I use Red Hat/Fedora based systems, currently RH9, moving to Fedora > Core 2 once it is released next month.

The newest EFL CVS snapshots are always in Gentoo Linux. The Gentoo package tool "ebuild" has an ability to create rpm-packages. I tried only simple apps with it, but they worked very vell for me. regards Andreas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
