[gDesklets] MIA for a month

["Lauri Kainulainen" <lauri sokkelo net>]

Hi everyone,

just to let you know, I'll be heading to Central America soon and thus
can't be reached for a month. Of course bug reports and requests
regarding the site are very welcome, but don't despair if I don't
reply until mid-January.

And regarding the new shell, I think we need to make it optional for
the users to pick between the old and the new at least for a certain
period. Looking into the code I haven't found a solid way of doing
this and thus this feature would require building an additional layer
of configuration over the shell (e.g. "which shell to use by
default"). I've built a textfile-based configuration system for the
new shell that might be used here as well.

But anyway, contrary to what I promised earlier, I don't think the new
shell is ready yet for prime time and I won't have the chance to work
on it for a month. I welcome anyone who is up to the challenge :)

In advance, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

Cheers,
Lauri
