Well underway for DR-2

Hi all,

Here are some recent news regarding MaXX Desktop....

The Developer Release Series is well underway and there are over 75 registered members in the MaXX Interactive Desktop Developer Release Series Google Group. If you are interested to joy us as a developer-tester, visit our Google Group and send us a subscription request!

5DWM v2.0 will be possibly based on a fork of either OpenBox or FluxBox Window Manager source code. This will bring needed features like multiple-workspace and XRender-XComposite extensions support.

The MaXX Desktop Foundation Developer Kits will be based on Trolltech's Qt 4.4, OpenGL and Xlib. The first kits will be made available in DR-2. So developers, get ready!

We are looking for a web master to keep the 5dwm.org official site alive! So anyone with HTML, CSS, FLASH, good design nose and some free time to spare can apply at maxxi (dot) desktop (at) gmail (dot) com.

You are welcome to comment to any of the topics above!!! (I hope someone does)

I'm not sure which Box I would prefer. Maybe Fluxbox, but then again once your done, it wont be Fluxbox anymore.

I'm not really available for any web design task for the 5dwm site, but if you need free hosting, please let me know. I have quite a few servers colocated at the Broad River data center facility in Atlanta, GA. I'd be happy to help out in any way I can.

Well, it was decided to support both an evolution of 5Dwm v1.x code-base to become v2.0 and a customized fluxbox version.
