I've packaged cinnamon because I want to install it on my own machine. I spent 10-12 hours a day taking orders from my boss, and working on community projects is the way that I relax. If you want to use my work then that's great. If it turns out that the X hours that I put into making cinnamon work on mageia is a waste, then I'll wipe mageia and install fedora or ubuntu or scientific linux or mint. I have very little tolerance for politics or long winded discussions or strategy discussion. I get enough of that in my day job. I've just packaged cinnamon and nemo. If someone says thank you, provides some suggestions for fixing things, and then takes it, I'll be happy. If not, then I'll wipe my disk and work on another distro. So what do you want me to do?
