Greetings, my name is Jose Santiago Burgos and I'm from El Salvador, i do hope that you can do your activities as usual
The reason of my mail is that while I was downloading an XFCE Fedora Spin for a friend, i tought and ask myself: "Why we cannot have another special spin given the popularity of some recent Desktops Environments (DE). I mean with MATE and Cinnamon
I don't know if this is the place where I should ask you guys for it. But i would like to see some extra spins based specifically in these 2 DE's, right now I'm using Fedora 17 with the Cinnamon Desktop, and besides some minor bugs, this has become my favorite DE as well, and i tried to install in the distributions i can (I use Linux Mint too). But i propose you to create some new spins that can contain Cinnamon/Nemo and Mate/Caja to make possible to have some more options. I you need a number of signatures i can do all the possible to get it as well
I don't know if you can answer me the soonest as possible with an answer (positive or negative) just to know if it's possible and what can I do to make it real (also if i have enough time to propose it add it to Fedora 18 or 19 as well)
Thanks and have a nice day

You certainly are welcome to help make such spins of course.
Being involved with MATE, I can say that our current and primary focus is 1. get MATE into fedora packaging-wise.
Then
2. make it easily installable via comps group(s) and what-not.
Then,
3. the option of doing the work of making a spin based on it is a possibility.
The status quo is that 1 is almost done with a basic desktop (optional pieces will be added over time). 2. is in the planning stages. not even thinking about 3 yet.

There's a bug request for this for MATE that I'm intending to sort through late this week/early next week, but that's only part of what's needed as a spin as stated below.
