Gentoo Desktop Project
1.
Project Description
The desktop project handles all desktop related issues of the Gentoo
distribution, including science. This involves both researching the
improvements needed for Gentoo's use as a desktop as managing all projects that
handle desktop-related ebuilds.

Lead Elections
We're going to hold elections for a new lead (or possibly co-leads) soon.
More info coming at a future date. Discuss this further in either
#gentoo-desktop or on the gentoo-desktop mailing list.
Any developers who consider themselves part of the desktop project are
welcome to participate in the election, but they can't just be part of the
project for the election. They need to create a subproject with accompanying
Web page for their herd and link to it from the top-level desktop index. Any
developers not listed as members on some project page in the desktop
hierarchy cannot vote.
