The project sadly never came of the ground. There are a number of reasons that |
14 |
could be named as the cause to this, but they don't matter. |

The original purpose was to have a project that worked on developing new ideas |
17 |
on how to improve the desktop usage experience. Things like making sound and |
18 |
other things "just work" would be here. The development of a menusystem could |
19 |
be a part. The reality is that those projects allways end up at the bottom of |
20 |
everyone's list and more urgent things actually get done. |
