11 I agree.  It needs someone to take care of it not only for Gentoo but
12 for other distros as well.  It will be more than just keeping the ebuild
13 up to date.  I'm hoping that someone somewhere will take it up.  I'd
14 think it is used by a lot of people.  Surely someone can do coding
15 updates as well.  Only needs one, maybe two, people.

17 I found a video on conky.  Link below.  It's kinda scattered so I found
18 myself skipping ahead.  There is a few times where it shows what it
19 looks like.  Set up could be a nightmare for someone like me.  It sounds
20 pretty complicated.

28 Conky may work but I don't see me liking it as much as I do gkrellm.

30 I hope someone will take it over and keep gkrellm running.  Maybe then a
31 dev can keep the ebuilds updated.  Given the original guy died, someone
32 has to replace him for sure.

34 Let's keep our fingers crossed.  ;-)
