I have been in contact with graydon, and have been watching the project grow from vaporware to something real. I would like to contribute, although it will be far from finished, a packaged version of berlin .01 at the point (soon) that it is released. This will give program developers a solid idea of what exactly berlin is, what its capabilities are, and a working development environment for the new corba-based windowing system. I would assume that the package be placed in contrib (and project/experimental or project/alpha) rather than main until which time it becomes fully developed. I have checked the WNPP and cleared the idea with graydon before sending this notice. If anybody has any qualms with the notion, let me and the rest of the debian community know ASAP. Of course, before I can do anything real, I need to get a video card supported by GGI. I've successfully built ggi & berlin on other machines (with extreme pain), but not on my home computer (which features an exciting 2 meg trident 9680 card). Perhaps something matrox? ;) Anyway, look forward to getting involved in developing debian again. -- ---- Aaron Van Couwenberghe -- vanco@sonic.net
