    Jerusalem artichokes...are dressed divers wayes, some boile them in water...others bake them in pies...others some other way as they are led by their skill in Cookerie. But in my judgment, which way soever they be drest and eaten they stir up and cause a filthie loathesome stinking winde within the body, thereby causing the belly to be much pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine than men.

    How many times does this same thing have to be done before people get it? If you want a unified desktop, please go join the KDE, Gnome, or XFCE, developers and do something about it. Nobody cares that you've built yet another website with nothing but your wishlist for improvements on it just to get a mention on slashdot.

      Nice, I get modded troll for pointing out the obvious. What the hell are you mods smoking? Here's a few links to projects just like this that blew hot air and wasted bandwidth by talking and not doing, just like this one.

    If I were a venture capitalist, I'd give this project... hmm... oh i dunno, about... $0.

    "Hey you guys, let's start a project with the aim to kill diversity and thus choice in the Linux Desktop arena!"

    They'll probably end up making something that looks identical to windows or OS X.
