What other options are there (have other distros been looked into for
them to actually be alternatives) ? Has Morphix's maintainer been
probed/pinged regarding this matter (ie. Gnome-2.6 module) - what have
his comments/plans been ?

I think we need instructions on how to do this - or maybe do a project
as a showcase for others to look at and mimic.

Be more specific ? What is it that you'd like to see - are we going

Arabeyes' wiki is now back online and is functional (it does now require
one to get an account from Elzubeir in order to be able to write to it
though).
I'm not getting the sense that people know how to contribute and/or what
to pick up and do in order to help. You might want to outline some things
as part of your planning on what you'd like to get done and see who'd
volunteer to help out.
