+Hi,
+I'm back to this subject, because, as you probably know, the
+proposal[1] has been accepted[2] and has to be merged with mine[3]
+and discussed a bit to understand what we have to do and who can help.

+In a first read i understood the idea was to provide a new gui
+abstraction layer, and you told me the suggested libYui library
+is written in C++ with some script bindings (one for all perl) and
+since I'm not a perl programmer and i know C++ and QT (something on GTk
+also) i could help.
+So should i assume you want to rewrite all?
+Steven, can you please point me and other potential contributors
+to your plans?
+Planning is also needed to our proposal to be definitely accepted :)
+
+I don't have a lot of spare time, but i will help as much as possible.
+
+Matteo Pasotti is adding libyui to mageia repository so we could
+start using it, I do also believe he's going to help us as well :)
+
+Let's start this new adventure...
+
+Cheers,
+	Angelo
