The Debian Desktop subproject is a group of people who want to create the best possible Linux operating system for home and corporate workstation use, with the integration and common features of the various desktop-related packages in Debian (and their bug reports, questions and patches). Our motto is "Software that Just Works". In short, our goal is to bring Debian, GNU, and Linux to the mainstream world.

We can include information about how the user can elect the ["GUI"] (["window manager"] or ["desktop"]) to utilize by default or select it every time in the ["display manager"].

Mini-woody

miniwoody 1.2a has been released. A few bug fixes has been made, f.e. a after installation of german-environment users was not able to change their desktop behavior. This has been fixed within ver1.2a.

As [http://alioth.debian.org Alioth] seems to allow only uploads up to 2 MB right now, miniwoody development sites are available at ["berliOS"].
