The following is simply a proposal, if there is enough interest, it is my intent to make it a reality.
Welcome to the the Revolution:
The Revolution Desktop Project intends to bring about the dawn of a community driven, best of breed GNOME desktop, to be a the shining star of what Free Software is capable of, and what a community can accomplish when they pull together.
The inspiration came, in part, from all the exceptional ideas/concepts put forth by very talented people that lack the experience or skills on their own to make those vision reality. There are so many fresh minds/ideas out there... and this community is no exception. We have programmers, artists, thinkers. Many of exceptional talent, and with such great potential.
In part the aim would to work closely with existing projects like tango and betterdesktop.org... adopting and learning from the various studies in usability and improving on them, making fd.o standards... well... standard. But above all else, it is about ideas, innovation, passion, and... synergy.
It will bring together art, code... etc. showing the best that the community has to offer.
Obviously, I could go into much greater detail, but the intent here is just to get an idea as to the level of interest. So please, Answer the above poll accordingly. Leave your thoughts.
So let us consider this thread an (initial) open forum for discussion, and as an outlet for ideas. A place for those who would be interested in getting involved (be it art, code, documentation, etc) to come and hang their hat's and let the creative juices flow
