Hi, An intra-BSD desktop environment based on Google's Material Design guidelines [1] -- would anyone be interested in something like that?
This way we could retire PC-BSD, and, coupled with the fact that OpenBSD is the world's only OS allowing you to run Xorg as an unprivileged user [2], we could make a fresh, renewed effort at conquering the Linux desktop market. Not only could this expand OpenBSD's user base by tens of millions, it would also make it clear to smartphone manufacturers which OS they should be basing all their future products on. http://google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html For ol' times sake, let's throw the IRIX® Interactive Desktop User Interface Guidelines in there as well: http://menehune.opt.wfu.edu/Kokua/Irix_6.5.21_doc_cd/usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves/SGI_Developer/books/UI_Glines/sgi_html/index.html Many thanks!
