I would be glad to maintain it ! I don't want to demotivate, but founding a completely new project is way > more complicated than joining or reviving an existing project, I was aware of Agnubis and Criawpis, and found that those were dead projects too. I think it's becoming easier to program such tools, with the help of Clutter and Python/Vala. I know of at least two people who've started similar projects, though I have > no idea how far they've gotten: Thanks for the links, I had never heard of them before (they didn't exist 6 months ago, that might be why). I haven't checked and built their projects yet, but I think they both have a good start. To quote the homepage of the first one (Ease) : this semester I will be developing a new desktop presentation application > for GNOME, entitled "Ease".

What should I do then ? I don't want to duplicate their effort even though I'd be glad to work on such projects, and I don't think I can join them as a GSoC task, can I ? Thanks for the answers, Stéphane.
