Hi all.<br>The first Alpha is going on, thanks also to Ricardo and Alberto that has provided us some great artwork stuff (you can see it there: <a href="http://www.archeos.eu/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:caesarartwork">http://www.archeos.eu/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:caesarartwork</a>).<br>
Some updates:<br><ul><li>I've split the archeos-artwork package in two different: <br></li><ul><li>archeos-menu that contains only icons, directories for the menu and applications launchers. Is intended to hard-customize the standard Gnome menu to act like the ArcheOS one (with all submenus)</li>
<li>archeos-artwork that contains desktop wallpapers, GDM icon and wallpaper, GRUB splash screen and all configuration files needed to let all this stuff work.<br><br>For sure is still in a pre-usable status but this has some great advantages, on the top cleanness and standardization with GNOME policies.</li>
</ul><li>I'm working on the <a href="https://archeos-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/archeos/issues/47">bug #47</a>. Some workarounds has been found but nothing definitive.</li><li>Luca and Alessandro are working on <a href="https://archeos-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/archeos/issues/36">feature #36</a> to provide bundled with ArcheOS Caesar some great example data (real gathered from their work in Armenia). Once completed will be much more simpler to write tutorials.</li>
<li>The image weight has been reduced due to my decision to not include all GNOME enviroment but a subsection of it. This obviously had cut-off many important software that we added separately like the k3b burning system, xsane to acquire scanned documents, and so on.</li>
<li>The GUI installer now features a shiny new banner. Thanks again Alberto!</li><li>Some extra software has been added, but I'm still look for great nautilus extensions (do you know what I'm talking about? <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=list+nautilus+extension">http://www.google.com/search?q=list+nautilus+extension</a>). Propose your favourite!<br>
</li></ul>Thanks for all your patience! First alpha will be released soon, we promise!<br><br>Fabrizio<br><br>-- <br>@P=split//,".URRUU\c8R";@d=split//,"\niranruF oizirbaF";sub p{<br>@p{"r$p","u$p"}=(P,P);pipe"r$p","u$p";++$p;($q*=2)+=$f=!fork;map{$P=$P[$f^ord<br>
