+Whats the history of the project?
+@:news_body@
+<p>
+Enlightenment has a long and glorious past. When Raster was going attending
University of New South Wales
+he began working with the newly released <a
href="http://www.cactii.net/~bb/XawXpm/";>Xaw-Xpm</a>.
+Leveraging Xaw-Xpm, he hacked up a new version of FVWM, which he called
"FVWM-XPM". This new and improved
+FVWM allowed XPM images to be used in place of ugly Athena Widgets (FVWM
started out in 1992 based on TWM).

+On Oct 30th, 1996, <a
href="https://oldwww.losurs.org/docs/rhlibrary/cola/volume96/Oct/961030.68";>Raster
+released the first version of Enlightenment</a>. Thanks to <a
href="http://www.devolution.com";>devolution.com</a>
+you can <a href="http://www.devolution.com/enlightenment/index.html";>see
Raster's old Enlightenment web page</a>.
+During E's infancy it had been derived from FVWM2's codebase, something that
quickly changed as complete
+rewrites of the window manager occured. By DR8 (E 0.8) the code was moved
from using LibXPM to using Raster's
+own <a href="http://www.devolution.com/enlightenment/imlib.html";>Imlib</a>
which was included with the window
+manager code untill DR10 when it was released as a stand alone library in 1997.

+Sun Nov 28 - <a href="mailto:benr@@NO.SPAMcuddletech.com";>benr</a> - DR17 now
in CVS!!!
+@:news_body@
+
+<p>
+<a
href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/enlightenment/e17/apps/e/";>Enlightenment
DR17 has been added into the primary CVS tree</a>.
+No, hell hasn't frozen over and last we looked pigs weren't flying although
this might signal Duke Nukem Forever sometime before Christmas.
+Feel free to grab it and muttle around. It's limited in its support for
ICCCM, no NETWM support and it has no iconification, virtual desktops,
+shading, keybindings or button bindings, but it does work. Patches are
welcome, contributions are welcome, but bug reports should be ignored...
+this is CVS code afterall.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you haven't followed Enlightenment in a while, you'll need to <a
href="http://enlightenment.org/pages/efl.html";>catch up on the EFL first</a>.
+The EFL is the foundation (get it?) of the DR17 window manager. <a
href="http://enlightenment.org/pages/source.html";>Information on CVS and the
build
+order can be found here</a>.
