Again, from an outsiders perspective, I thought it might be useful to  
pop in a word.

With regards to being just a WM or being a full desktop environment or  
being a desktop shell - you are well on your way to being a full  
desktop environment. with that said, I would not have signed up for  
this list if you weren't going in that direction - the libraries are  
what interests me most, in terms of what I like developing / want to  
develop in the future. the set of libraries is faster and higher  
quality than any other graphical libraries I've encountered - and  
speed, specifically the ability to run high quality software on very  
old / slow machines is indeed what first brought me (years and years  
ago) to linux.

so with regards to the expansion from just a WM to much more, as an  
outsider, I fully support it, and think it will draw more people to  
the project (assuming that is a good thing)

in terms of managing the codebase, having all changes go through the  
mailing lists would be especially helpful to new people, in terms of  
getting to know the code, and also keeping on top of new things  
happening. time is precious, as mentioned, and having emails that you  
can get to whenever is much easier than having to be on IRC at certain  
times....

beyond that, as my first post to this mailing list, I do want to  
commend all the work that has been done so far, it is really quite  
impressive; secondly, (and this is a purely selfish request) in what  
library / place would you reccommend I start digging. I understand on  
a theoretical basis how the libraries work (from reading docs) but  
that's not the same as actually knowing the code...so, ecore? or e  
itself?  or is the bug tracker operational (so I could go and try to  
hunt down bugs, which always seems a good way to start).

Thanks,
Daniel
