I think Ruben nailed it when he kicked this off by pointing out that
there was a lack of work on projects. People ultimately take interest
when there is activity. Not so much when it's only speech.
I have a simple project which I think could show a lot of promise as a
starting point.
Gnome/KDE both lack a decent outliner. Here is an example of a good
outliner - http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/
I think if two or three of us would collaborate on something like
this, it would start to generate interest and enthusiasm. Generally,
when there is activity, especially useful activity, people tend to
take a greater interest. From that point other people might get the
idea of doing a project of their own, then another group, etc. I
could be wrong of course, but I think that it's a good idea.
However, while I'm willing to put in a couple of hours a week on this,
but I'm simply not going to do it if no one else will.
I'd be very pleased if one or two people would be willing to step
forward and join me on this. It's not even necessary for them to be
developers either. Just a willingness to put in some time and
creativity.
Balls in your court guys, I'd love it if you slam it back my way.
