Dear all,

I've spoken with Jigish Gohil[1] and we're clear to move in with
Cinnamon. He's busy during this days, so I'm taking the lead with
Cinnamon. A few things people will need to know about Cinnamon:

 * Cinnamon is a replacement for gnome-shell and requires GNOME3 to be
installed;
 * Cinnamon will be introduced for openSUSE 12.1 and onwards, I won't
deploy on previous platforms (if anyone wants to jump in for it, all
help is appreciated);
 * Cinnamon currently is composed of 5 packages, more will be added in
the future (most likely cosmetic packages);
   - muffin - cinnamon's window manager
   - cinnamon - cinnamon desktop shell
   - cinnamon-extensions - extension bundle for cinnamon
   - cinnamon-extension-weather - weather applet extension
   - cinnamon-settings - GUI configuration tool for cinnamon
 * Cinnamon requires no hacks (only one patch was applied to correct a
path in a session file for GDM);
 * Development Project is: GNOME:Cinnamon (thanks to Vincent and GNOME
Team people);
 * All the dependencies are already in openSUSE:Factory provided by
GNOME Project.

I've written this 'article' about Cinnamon and openSUSE (some might
have seen it in the planet):

The GNOME:Cinnamon project is currently rebuilding and there's a
cinnamon.ymp installer also.
