After being in beta and release candidates for several months, XFCE 4.4 is finally released. Not only that, but ebuilds for them are willing and ready to go. woot.

All the extra panel plugins and extra utilities have been updated as well. In addition, there have been some new additions for 4.4. Use xfce-base/xfce4-extras to get them all, or choose them piece meal out of xfce-extra/.

We're also in the process of establishing an XFCE project for reals, instead of just being having a herd. With the creation of a project, you need a project lead. Who will it be? Well, the consensus seems seems to be your truly.

Congrats on your new appointment. I am a long time XFCE user myself. (-:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=xfce-extra/xfce4-mount-0.4.8".
(dependency required by "xfce-base/xfce4-extras-4.4.0" [ebuild])

;) See? We want to try it, honest!

I take back my last comment - *where* are the ebuilds for 4.4 was probably a better question :) (Thanks for all the xfce lovin'!)
