This project looks very promising in my opinion, it really motivates me to learn qt so I can start hacking it.  It's one of the most innovative ideas I've seen in a long time.  I hope it gets finished in time for KDE 3.2!

Wow, that's whack. When I first saw its site, I thought it was one of those "all talk" projects... I guess I was wrong (a good thing!).

Doesn't "whack" mean bad?

in this country you can say something is "the shit" or "the bollocks" (short for 'the dog's bollocks') which means it's really good.
that's in sharp contrast to being "shit" or "bollocks" which just means that thing is, well, shit.

Is Slicker fast? I mean comparable to WindowMaker? Is it resource hungry like KDE and does it need KDE?

thanks,
