I've submitted review requests for the first two packages for the MATE
desktop environment, mate-doc-utils and mate-corba. MATE is a fork of
GNOME 2. I expect that it will take me a few months to package the
remaining MATE packages.
Would anyone like to see the MATE desktop environment as an official
feature of Fedora 17 or Fedora 18?
