After posting the message, I realized there was a cvs repository mentioned in the debian-desktop pages, with an ongoing menu rewrite. It didn't seem active, though: last commit appeared to be5 months ago. There's also a policy proposal in there that looks very similar to the one I made here, and we could merge them. I've just written to Chris asking for his current situation wrt the menu system. If he's still in, I hope he joins the discussion. If he can't work on it anymore, I'd suggest we take on from where he left. In both cases, shall we assemble a working team? Is there someone interested in joining Chris(maybe) and me?
