Hello,
What would be involved in trying to get another desktop officially into Fedora?
I am thinking of ice, for those people with machines without much memory, or who just wish a lightweight window manager. But I am meaning this question to be more general.
So far I have come up with the following list.
Well maintained rpm. Bluecurve theme (on by default) Menu structure consistent with other desktops Integration into gdm and/or desktop switcher stamp of approval from Garrett stamp of approval from rest of Fedora governing body
Am I missing anything?
And on a related note, if one were to get the first 3 or 4 done, is it even feasible that the stamps of approval will happen, or will this be something that will only get into fedora-extra?
This would be a great addition to Fedora-extras or some external yum repository.
Concerning its inclusion in the base, Fedora Core, I think Trae McCombs sums it up great in a recent post to fedora-devel-list:
