For future reference, please get in touch with me to talk about new desktop subprojects. Let me know whether there's anything I can do as desktop lead to make your work easier. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgpLgr1dWTntK.pgp Description: PGP signature

[1] http://lxde.org/about.html [2] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/lxde/ I started using LXDE when I was trying out a bunch of lightweight alternative distros -- it really is nice to run; lighter than even Xfce. Once you get the packages into Portage and stabilized, I'll be happy to write up the installation guide; it deserves a spot right up there with our Gnome/KDE/Xfce/Fluxbox guides. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-dev] [RFC] LXDE project
Hi everyone, I recently got interested in LXDE[1], the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, and I would like to see this available in portage. At the moment there are, to my knowledge, 3 overlays maintained by users that include ebuilds for lxde. I think it is time to combine efforts and get these packages into the official tree. I have therefor created an LXDE project page[2] under the Desktop top-level project. My idea is to initially start an official overlay and develop the needed packages in there. I am actively encouraging users to participate in development and maintenance, and of course I am extending the invitation to any Gentoo developers who would like to join. I don't want to spread myself too thin, and having more experienced developers involved with the project would be a good thing. Any constructive feedback is welcome!
