4 Greetings all,
5
6 Looking for some feedback on creating a new project and herd for the
7 MATE Desktop environment. The goal, like many other DE based projects,
8 is to provide up to date packaging and as complete an offering of the
9 DE's packages as possible.
10
11 Currently, the packages of the MATE Desktop DE are listed as maintained
12 by TomWij (who is on long term devaway). Prior to acceptance into the
13 Gentoo repo, it was worked on by lxnay and steev. All 3 have either
14 not responded to inquiries, or have expressed limited interest in
15 maintaining the DE. As a result, I felt the best way to support users
16 was to move support of MATE away from any individual, and create a
17 project and associated herd to manage the packages, thus allowing any
18 developer that is interested in helping out an easy means of doing so.
19
20 I've created a prospective Wiki project page:
21 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:MATE and intend to have a mail
22 alias, mate@g.o, and an email channel for Gentoo support and
23 development, #gentoo-mate.
24
25 Any feedback regarding the aforementioned would be greatly appreciated.
