  I was just wondering if it was the right time to start a new theme,
  which is a big big work.
 
 it is a big work, but the old one just was annoying me too much. i
 was trying to do graphics for the wizard and it just wasn't looking
 nice. everything i tried looked like crap.
 
I agree, the bling-bling theme doesn't look good at all when there are
too many widgets on the same window. Just put more than 3 buttons and
the interface will probably look overloaded. Do you have any mockup of
the new widget-set? I've seen some shots of the window-borders, but
what really is important is to have a coherent and non-intruisive look
for the widgets imho. Otherwise, you'll end up with the same problems
as with the bling-bling theme.

Another possibility would be to use an existing theme. Detour would be
a perfect candidate for the job! It is already complete, it has a
really good look imo and widgets always look good regardless to the
layout. And it will also save you a lot of work. What do you think?
(Tokyo would also have to agree on this of course.. :))

  2. Lets have actual weekly or monthly developer meetings - literally all-in
  live discussions - maybe IRC? Have actual agendas in meetings. Minutes.
 
 We are doing irc meetings about xcb, and it's always very useful.

then lets (at some point soon) have some for e.

  4. Try an organise some annual get-together. An E meet (I think I'll just
  call it The Rave for now - it fits with the whole E thing). So Literally
  find a place on the planet we all can/want to go to - go there.
 
 The french developpers have already met deveral times. Actually not for 
 thinking about E but for dining in a good restaurant :)

that's all good too. i know its just dinner, but over dinner i am sure you
talked code, hacking and all sorts of stuff. :) the main point is to get people
together in person to talk, share and just get to know eachother.

  Now we also need to fix up enlightenment.org a bit - I intend to sink a bit
  of time into solidifying some content. The Wiki has a fair bit. Anyone is
  welcome to contribute as they see fit.
 
 imho, the enlightenment web site is not good. It's quite difficult to find 
 informations. The horizontal menu is too small. In that page:
 
 http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=downloadl=en
 
 the paragraph about e17 is not clear enough (there are 2 links without 
 explanation. Why doing a small page to say : go to other small pages)
 
 etc...

dj2 is simplifiying it. :)

  But the primary thing of importance is getting E17 out the door. It's
  actually looking petty good. Only 2 really big TODO items left. I'm doing a
  theme revamp. The Default theme has very much aged. The gold bling isn't
  incredibly popular. I'm working on something I think people will love - and
  it still shows off E. It will replace the current default - and will also
  knock off some of the comment the default theme so its better documented
  for people to build new themes from and learn Edje.
 
 I was just wondering if it was the right time to start a new theme, which 
 is a big big work.

it is a big work, but the old one just was annoying me too much. i was trying
