Hey there, I'd like to porpose to work on the enhancement of the e17 desktop shell, to improve the user interface experience of people with low power systems like tablets. Why e17? Read below. Fedora already provides und supports two heavy weight desktop environments (GNOME and KDE) and two lightweight ones (XFCE and LXDM). E17 is a lightweight, yet very configurable and featurerich desktop shell for X window systems built upon the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. These libraries are highly optimized for usage in resource restricted environments, as their usage as e.g. UI kit in Tizen prooves. Supporting my work on e17 will directly improve the user interface experience of fedora users who only have access to machines with limited ressource such as: - Tablets - Old Devices Due to it's efficiency it reduces the time to (desktop) usage significantly, which improves the fedora experience on every other machine too. Subproject ideas: - Advanced RandRR configuration (like monitor profile assignments to put e.g. Impress fullscreen windows on "projectors") - Improved tablet user interface customization (e17 supports so-called profiles) - connman support improvement (support WPA-EAP) - Improved notification center - libcanberra support - Configuration dialogs in general - Themeconverter for other window manager themes Last, but not least I think that the cooperation of fedora with the enlightenment project is a good opportunity for both to promote the usage of desktop distributions on tablets. Please let me know if you need any further information. Best regards, Leif
