I just realize if we use OpenSpace manager,
there is no issue about file manager.
It is very straight-forward to import it (only the part of file manager).
It is by far a much better choice than OuterSpace.app and Space.app.
So if Saso agrees with that, I would like to spend some time on it
and see whether it can be worked out,
It can also probably serve as a prototype for "object manager", maybe.
There are two things I hope to clear first.
1. I prefer to decompose the whole OpenSpace Manager into
several smaller components for easy reuse.
I haven't really look at the code, but I believe there are many things
which can be shared, ex. by dock and trash can, and maybe more.
2. The license is not clear.
Although I prefer BSD license, it is not my call.
But I do hope that it can be LGPL mostly so that some parts of it
can be converted into libraries without license issue
while application part can stay in license Saso prefers.
It may not be a target for LiveCD 0.2,
but in my own opinions, I cannot see a better choice for the future.
