Reading here and there in E lists, I find Rasterman to be kind of a
libertarian guy. MIT licenses and the simple fact he led a team to work for 12
years to bring a stable E17 (a desktop written in C with mem usage and
appearance that should be the GNOME killer anytime!) to the world are evidence
of a mind that prefers hard (really hard) work and pragmatism to discussions
and politics. This reflects to his project even in its downsides, like being a
niche in itself, inside the unix GUI niche, and accepting the choices of big
committers of EFL. Happy devs in the team and delegation of things like IPC to
the fd.O project are good things for a project benevolent dictator which
doesn't give a shit about Poettering.
It isn't the first time that the E project delegates to fd.O, too: EsD. ;)
I knew, tho', that it wouldn't became a GNOME alternative, I'm happy to know
that we can still build E anywhere.
The fact Mac OS is a BSD helps in some projects, like this (EFL is crossplatform).
Despite being beautiful, EFL requires a lot of edje work to mantain look and
feel with an underlying system, so beware devs!

I really like how Asbesto works and thinks, too: when he'll come back from(...
WTF is he? Metro olografix anniversary?), may I help him? May I parasitize him?
