Awesome to see this getting off the ground so quickly! If you're interested in some of the large scale changes Seif and Alex have in store, don't hesitate to check out Mayanna :-)

whatever happened to the idea of the awn plugin? will this continue in mayanna?
I also ask this in the context of whether mayanna/gimmie's future lies in a "standalone" app model or in a "plugin"-model, where the project supports plugins to all of the major desktop panel APIs.
In my case, I use XFCE (lowest real-estate/resource hogging on an Eee PC) + compiz + awn and I wonder if it'd be possible to make a panel plugin for mayanna/gimmie in xfce in the same fashion that the gnome/awn plugins have been done.. (then at least i can drop the awn piece... its popups are really kludgy and a hassle to deal with (the whole focus/disapear thing is annoying))
I guess i'll hop on the other list and ask, if no one wants to answer that here.

Just to clarify, the AWN plugin is functional and checked into Gimmie's svn for some time now, if you want to try it out. Perhaps it makes sense to make a stable Gimmie release so people can play with those bits?

Good to see the development continues!
I am wondering why forking though, what is the advantage? "Taking
risks"? Isn't it what development versions are for? If so is Mayanna
just the incubator for Gimmie (like Beryl/Compiz)?
Or are they different objectives?
Thanks!

Actually its kind of the same team i guess
only that Alex Graveley won't be that active do to his other
commitments.
and to not ruin the "Gimmie" name we decided to branch it.
Alex is also a Project member of MAYANNA :)
p.s:
I managed to get mayanna to upload pics form Images to flickr cool
huh?
