Hi Jedi and thanks for dropping by. I think you just missed my
"welcome and introductions" post by minutes, so rather then retyping,
you can view it here:

Actually, Jonas, who is one of the main drivers here, just mentioned
yesterday he has been working with Xfce and a big motivating factor
for his involvement is to move to lighter WMs. Why did you decide not
to use Xfce?

I like Openbox. I used it for years on Crunchbang. But, when I had to
install my own system I think that Fluxbox is just so much
friendlier...easier config files to work with, better man pages, just
a great project overall.

Excellent. Thank you guys for coming! Let's talk with Jonas about what
type of access he is granting everyone. Actually, this project is so
new, I don't even know where our source files live :-)

Also, Jonas, I think it would be good if we talked a bit about the
benefits of others joining our project and what this project has to
offer others.
