Whiteboard

(Editor's note: I assume the registrant meant cairo-dock and not cairo, because merging with the low-level library would never happen. As such, changing all of the mentions of "Cairo" with "cairo dock" or similar. -malept, 2008/07/10)

(Setting priority to "Not" and status to "Not started". Though there is nothing fundamentally wrong with two, similar, projects combining to create a better one, in the case of awn and cairo-dock there are extremely fundamental architectural differences that would render an attempt to fuse them together doomed to fail. This is not to imply that the goals of the two projects are necessarily incommensurate but the fundamental approaches being used are sufficiently different as to justify their existence as separate entities. If a deeper understanding of some of the architectural paths that have been taken is desired I would suggest reading http://moon-shiny.blogspot.com/2008/03/why-things-are-way-they-are.html . Thanks. -moonbeam 2008/07/10)
