Hi all!
I'm writing a desktop shell that uses FreeBSD License these days. It uses design from GNOME 3. Many may ask why GNOME3? Well, in my opinion, GNOME3 could be more easier to use and much better. And GNOME3 does NOT work well on BSDs. That makes me feel unhappy. x( And I can't even love KDE. KDE makes me feel I'm using Windows. (I don't want to start a war, maybe I'm not clever :r)
Then I started to do my own desktop shell, HShell. It uses FreeBSD License. Firstly I thought that I should release it after it's done. But a bit later, I feel my C/GTK skills are too terrible and my time is too short. So I ask for help here. HShell is not simply a GNOME-Shell copy but a better desktop shell for UNIX-like OSs. Perhaps later there will be a BSD's own desktop environment.
Here is the project site http://projects.ekd123.org/projects/hshell. If you need to run it you may need to write a 'main' extension first. HShell treats it as its configuration. A default conf will be installed automatically.
If you want to join, you may need experience of GTK+ 3, GLib and GIO (depend on what you want to do). First of all, please read the TODO page and see what you can join.
Thank you for your help! If you don't want to join, thank you for your reading and attention.
Sincerely,
Mike Manilone
PS: Sorry for my poor English.
