It's a nice start by Alex. Hopefully with 0.3 we'll be able to have more complete integration between the two projects.

Cool. Don't know if I'll use it but a good thing nonetheless :-)

great news, gimmie's great, but the UI isnt the best, integrating awn with it would definitly be a good thing.

I would really like to see awn as a panel instead of a dock, kind of KDE4's panel... but nice :P

This is so awesome...I was waiting so long for that !!!
Is there any blog or something to track the gimmie development except the mailing list? (I hate mailing lists)

"I would really like to see awn as a panel instead of a dock, kind of KDE4's panel... but nice :P"

I agree with you there but I think you are missing the big picture.... To me anyway, when I first saw awn I didn't think of it as just a dock I saw it as gnome panel x2.

I think that awns focus has steered in this direction. njpatel wants the ability to have awn placed anywhere on the desktop. corners bottom middle, top middle etc.
I can only assume he just wants it as customizable as possible so you could get it to act like a panel if you wanted to.
Why do we need it?
Simple, recognizability.
It would allow people in the future to have a gnome desktop which allowed loads of the great features of compositing to be taken into account.
I see awn as the panel/dock of gnomes future.
Gimmie is also one of the projects i have been watching verry closely and it also is striving for customization as of late.
What does this mean?
People wont have to compromise there ui of choice in the future. they can set up the panel to look just like it does now. they will be able to set up gimmie to use the same structure as it does right now. All great stuff and the fact the two projects are working together right now can only be a good thing.
