Hi all,

Bryce wrote a good and essentially simple proposal for getting things
rolling again. However, it turns out that my and his underlying
assumptions were not exactly true. We assumed that desktop projects
want to go forward all the time, on their own schedule. To support
that, Bryce wrote this proposal.

Since then in IRC, GNOME (with Jasper's voice) has said they can
actually wait for other DEs, especially KDE, to get on board.

So it seems the current plan is to keep xdg-shell in limbo at least
until KDE people can focus on it properly. And other DE projects, too.
In other words, not to hurry, but think things through with all major
players.

Just letting you all know and collecting a hopefully good selection of
CCs to get the teams covered.


Thanks,
pq
