For theme I've tried o help with efenniht and because he was. i have seen dozens of emails saying "heres my website layout" as a text file - then nothing getting done. dresb (andreas blanc) was doing a good job - but he had some health problems and had to pull back. jesse was doing content and i asked him for it - he vanished never to respond to my email back in april. i frankly haven't had time to do anything with the website. > same behavior make us tired of going against a wall and doing catch-up with efnheit never got anything said about it other than i really didn't quite like it - detourious imho is better. i am in fact using it right now. i've even fixed up the default wallpaper to not be so glaringly "same grey". i mean to talk to jeffdameth about it. i would consider detourious for a default theme - it still needs work to replace default. > the default.

(and i didn't do any during the week because i spent all that time on efl) > On Sunday, October 30, 2011, David Seikel <onef...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sun, 30 Oct 2011 07:34:57 -0400 Youness Alaoui > > <kakar...@kakaroto.homelinux.net> wrote: > > > >> On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 4:42 AM, David Seikel <onef...@gmail.com> > >> wrote: > >> > >> > On Sun, 30 Oct 2011 04:07:30 -0400 Youness Alaoui > >> > <kakar...@kakaroto.homelinux.net> wrote: > >> > > >> > > The purpose of this thread (and probably all the previous > >> > > discussions) is to get a point across, the release is needed, and > >> > > most people think that there is no point in delaying it, but if > >> > > you're too stubborn on that, maybe that's the reason no release > >> > > was ever made, not about people not contributing (which btw, > >> > > seeing how you sometimes answer aggressively, it might actually > >> > > have scared away contributors). > >> > > >> > Most people?
