Hi, i wanted to note that there is http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_Project maintained by bardo a TU, which mentions absolutely nothing about upstream. Instead it says "I (bardo) will write/modify the necessary files and notify the corresponding maintainers so they can be added to the packages." Additionally there are links to the bug tracker. I have no idea if bardo submitts them upstream as well but i doubt it.
At the moment I don't. When I announced the project it got a good reaction, so I carried on with it, but after a while creating and providing desktop files through the bug tracker I started receiving the "upstream problem" answer. This has become pretty frequent, so lately I haven't been doing very much on the Arch side. The few developers I tried to contact didn't do anything, so I suppose there's little to no interest from them. The whole thing has started to become more frustrating than anything, so at the moment I'm not working on it anymore. Corrado
