Hi everyone,I recently got interested in LXDE[1], the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, and I would like to see this available in portage. At the moment there are, to my knowledge, 3 overlays maintained by users that include ebuilds for lxde. I think it is time to combine efforts and get these packages into the official tree. I have therefor created an LXDE project page[2] under the Desktop top-level project. My idea is to initially start an official overlay and develop the needed packages in there. I am actively encouraging users to participate in development and maintenance, and of course I am extending the invitation to any Gentoo developers who would like to join. I don't want to spread myself too thin, and having more experienced developers involved with the project would be a good thing. Any constructive feedback is welcome!

I started using LXDE when I was trying out a bunch of lightweight alternative distros -- it really is nice to run; lighter than even Xfce. Once you get the packages into Portage and stabilized, I'll be happy to write up the installation guide; it deserves a spot right up there with our Gnome/KDE/Xfce/Fluxbox guides.
