I would love one for Xfce. ;) I would suspect LXDE would like on too (they also have a logo upsteam). > - The text in the home and about screens for the KDE spin details is > pretty much filler text.

Perhaps a post to the spins list explaining how long this should be and what it should cover would be good?

I have no idea if the old spins versions are still on spins.fedoraproject.org and just not connected to an active torrent or not. ;( > - the Spins Community page is going to rely on content that for the > most part has not yet been developed.

From a quick glance this looks good. ;) But I haven't read thought it in detail yet. > - The about spins page content may be full of crack rock.
