Hello

Hello.

I want to (shortly) introduce myself hereby.
I am a (C/C++) developer from Germany being recently very interested in 
Linux and its concepts. I did mainly GUI and DSP development and 
webdesign (on the Windows platform) in the past.

Some of my special interests are also professional audio and music studio 
technology and coding for that area.

I found the Y Window System very interesting, because I saw very fast the 
common problems with the good old X systems on Linux after starting with it. 
Thousands of window managers, GUI frameworks and dependencies is quite 
confusing for a Linux newbe, well surely even for the white rabbits of you 
too... 

But I am also aware of the fact, that X11 for instance, is actively used with 
the actual Macintosh OS... 

However,
reading the Y Window System documentation by Mark was like a fascinating 
shining sparkle in the dark of all my confusing Linux experience in the past. 
I like the concept, the clearness and it also gave me some spontaneous ideas 
for a future direction.

In the next time I'll try to examine all the material (regarding Y) available 
on the internet intensively and 'I'll see if I can connect some of the ideas 
of my past work (especially GUI and graphics design and widgets coding) to 
contribute to the project.

I know, Y is not that much frequented lately. But even this fact makes it  
interesting to me. I never used to be in the mainstream...
I also know, that probably Y will never replace the X system (for some certain 
reasons), but I believe we could try to develop this fantastic idea somehow  
further, maybe giving it a completely new direction ...

Kind regards.
