Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I recently got interested in LXDE[1], the Lightweight X11 Desktop |
| 4 |
Environment, and I would like to see this available in portage. At the |
| 5 |
moment there are, to my knowledge, 3 overlays maintained by users that |
| 6 |
include ebuilds for lxde. I think it is time to combine efforts and get |
| 7 |
these packages into the official tree. |
| 8 |
|

I have therefor created an LXDE project page[2] under the Desktop |
| 10 |
top-level project. My idea is to initially start an official overlay and |
| 11 |
develop the needed packages in there. I am actively encouraging users to |
| 12 |
participate in development and maintenance, and of course I am extending |
| 13 |
the invitation to any Gentoo developers who would like to join. I don't |
| 14 |
want to spread myself too thin, and having more experienced developers |
| 15 |
involved with the project would be a good thing. |

Any constructive feedback is welcome! |
