19 In general the main aim of the desktop project is to serve as a platform
20 for the maintenance and development of desktop related work in gentoo.
21 This includes limited efforts to glue different packages together, but
22 does not mean that the desktop project (or its subprojects) actually
23 write new packages for the desktop. (well, the installer started out as a
24 desktop project).
