Well, in fact, I was too busy in last two years due to intensive life work. However, I believe I will be able to get to it in a month or two. Let me see if I can handle things right.

But it is still alive. >> I don't mind the project will be still named LXDE or LXDE-continued. >> With my Debian developer hat, we needed to clearly define the upstream >> in our official packages and make our users happy.
