Hello,
A group of our developers and i have felt the need of working around a
new goal inside Gentoo: Graphical User Interfaces (GUI).
Though Gentoo has been considered a very command line interface oriented
system; we believe there is always room for new 'ways' of doing things
in this distribution that helps our users to have a better Gentoo
experience.
Our main idea is to develop and collect all the necessary applications
to offer GUI's (keeping Gentoo flexibility) for most of our system
tasks, offering an alternative for those users who like these kind of
interfaces.
So we have started the Gentoo-GUI's project to work around the goal of
making Gentoo more 'GUIzed' :-)
Please visit the site http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/guis/ for further
information. Note that we are just in the early stage of the project
right now, but anybody is welcome to participate on what we currently
have so far.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello,
I hope this post gets through, I just switched to using gmane, so I'm sorry
if it gets posted incorrectly.
I take it you intend to use GTK. May I suggest you also provide ncurses
interfaces to your programs? I'm not sure how much additional work that
would be, as I don't program UIs. But an additional ncurses interface would
provide users with the comfort of having the same tools available in case
their Xorg fails for some reason, and on their X-less servers.
Also, if a user modifies a tool-managed config file, the tool shouldn't get
confused, and vice versa. I'm sure that goes without saying on Gentoo, but
since I've only used GUI tools on Mandrake and Ubuntu and this is where
they often fail, I feel the need to mention it. For example, Ubuntu's
network config tool often didn't match what ifconfig said about the
interfaces' status; I don't want to know what would happen to it if I used
ifconfig to actually change configuration.
Regards,
Jure
