Provisional -1. I think this would be too granular. I'd like to see a rational for why this needs to be an OpenSolaris project. Xfce is developed in its own community setting already, creating a project here would constitute a fork, or parallel fork if you will, in my mind.
The question then is: Does work need to be done on Xfce that will not be accepted by the standard Xfce codebase thus requiring an independent project? If not, then I believe this would be part of the SFW or CCD packaging projects which already exist. I know that JDS and KDE have projects, but these are much larger desktop projects with hundreds of applications and dependencies. Other desktop efforts such as Xfce and Enlightenment are much smaller by contrast and I don't see them as candidates for project status. I'm welcome to arguments in favor, I have no interest in turning anyone away (not that my opinion has any deciding weight, this proposal already has 4 seconds) but I want to be rational in our criteria, even prior to completion of the constitution. benr.
