Desktop Environment/Window Manager Forum?

I'm wondering if we could have a forum set apart for questions related to desktop environments and window managers. This is an area of tremendous interest and activity in the Linux world, and as such may deserve treatment separate from a general software forum. It's also a good place where users of different distros could come together, since the majority of Linux users are also using some kind of DE or WM.

What do you think, Jeremy or others?

Thanks for your work on this excellent site, by the way. It's an invaluable resource to all of us.

In support of this proposal, consider the main Gentoo Forum site (http://forums.gentoo.org) as an example. The section named "Desktop Environments" is the most active of all the forum sections, with 323K posts currently listed. Second is "Portage and Programming", with 238K posts, almost 100K fewer; and third is "Installing Gentoo", with 220K posts. So you see that questions about KDE, Gnome, XFCE, Fluxbox and so on hold a lot of interest for people. I don't think each DE or WM needs its own section, though some might argue that, as well.

I suspect a DE/WM forum on linuxquestions.org would be proportionally just as active as on the Gentoo site.

This has been asked and answered on numerous occasions...

Oops. I guess I didn't hunt hard enough. Note that I'm not asking for a KDE section or a Gnome section, just a section dedicated to any and all desktop environments and window managers.

But I'll look again through the forums and see what the consensus was.

Yeah, trickykid, you're right. It has come up a few times. I confess I'm not very convinced by the arguments against, but I defer to the experience of you guys who have to sort through this stuff all the time.

I suppose the possible need for a forum section on DEs and WMs hit me when I wanted to draw attention to a certain new window manager that I stumbled onto, and I couldn't figure out where to post. "Linux Software" just seemed too broad a topic to include this under.

Also, a lot of users, newer ones especially, are interested in the various window manager and desktop environment options available on Linux. The range of options really sets the Linux world apart from Windows (though alternate desktop environments are out there for Windows, too, if you look hard enough). It's difficult to get good overall info about these many options by poking around in a single distro section, and this kind of info can get lost in a sea as vast as "Linux Software".

But, hey, I won't lose any sleep over this. Thanks for directing me to what I should have found anyway. Sorry I didn't spend enough time snooping around first.
