Hi Guix, 

On behalf of PantherX team just wanted to mention that our bounty program is
still active for whom interested to work on `kwin` package.

Anyone interested to work on `kwin` package and provide a working version could
reach us both here on this thread or by contacting bou...@pantherx.org. 

The bounty results will be published to the community and whoever does that
gets the full credit. 

At the end just wanted to mention The bounty is really just a motivation that 
hopefully benefits the whole community.
