That blog post made me think this was a coordinated effort between various DEs to create some apps that they all would use. Which would mean we wouldn't need a gnome-$foo fork Cinnamon, another one for Mate, etc... But it seems I was too naïve and that is not the case, and we're just going to end up with one more fork as I initially feared. I so hope I am wrong on this... Cheers, Emilio
