I believe this is the list of packages we want to give away: gnome-extra/cinnamon gnome-extra/cinnamon-control-center gnome-extra/cinnamon-desktop gnome-extra/cinnamon-menus gnome-extra/cinnamon-screensaver gnome-extra/cinnamon-session gnome-extra/cinnamon-settings-daemon gnome-extra/cinnamon-translations gnome-extra/cjs gnome-extra/nemo x11-wm/muffin but there might be more that don't contain "cinnamon" in the name or don't have linuxmint as remote-id. We keep maintaining all the GNOME packages cinnamon relies on. So please just form a project and take em. Hopefully others can help too; in GNOME team tetromino has been most involved with them. I think it would be fine with us if the project is on paper a subproject of GNOME if you want that instead of a top-level project, we just don't want to be responsible to it and have us feel guilty with bugs of it shown up in our GNOME saved searches, or give an impression we are overstaffed which I guess a subproject kinda might do. Or a subproject of Desktop, which I see was already deleted with my objections for now, so nvm... Mart
