Uhm... some arguments to discuss, really, I can't get wait for this release
So:
- why a new fs hierarchy? Don't you think could be confusing for a standard *nix user to adapt to new paths?
- why define a new Package Manager if it's based on pre-esisting, standard, package management tools already widely used in the original distro (ubuntu)? This could sound provocatory, and in fact, it is just a way to make you explain the differences between moonPackage and, say, Synaptic (apt-get/dpkg).

What I'd love to find in moonOs 4:
- more artworks, more themes, more enlightement, less Gnome/GTK ...easy to say, uh?

As for me... I tried both MoonOs and OpenGEU in order to test E17 on my older PC... I ended to install also on a VM on my laptop. I prefer moonOs because it seems slightly faster and stable than the counterpart (too Gnome in it maybe?). I'd like that the evolution of this distro keep always an eye on the performance even on older machines, and I'd love one day to use only specific E17 apps to do everything I do.
That's not the case in MANY real applications.
The last case occourred to me: I'm looking for (I also asked for in the SW section ) a simple, basic TeX editor with just syntax highilight and preview mode. Would you like a light, fast solution for that? Well, actually you have to resolve dependencies for extra gfx libs, for many MB of stuff.

Just to say... I would focus on specific e17 applications, as soon as possible, also to draw a distinguish path that will make MoonOs an unique distro, and not just "another ubuntu-based one".
These my 2 cents

No, I made it for newbie who switch from Windows or Mac and old *nix structure still available in /System/Legacy.

Sorry that not provide you more detail! moonPackage is work independent and it work a real package manager. It need help from moonSoftware. I'm made it follow the self-extract installer style like Mac OS X installer.

I hope it happen. Only me and my friend quaker66 working for moonOS so I don't think I can make more enlightenment and less GNOME/GTK. We have other solution is make enlightenment and GTK look the same so we don't think we need enlightenment more then GTK.

Hey guys,

i think it would be great if the "ibar" was not just an panel for links, but also a status bar like in macOS or Win7.
If you klick on the Firefox link, you'll see all open Firefox-tasks or -windows in a list or something like that.

Another useful feature would be a search option in the Main-menu. Is much easier to find a program, since i'm not always sure if i have to look in /applications or /settings.

Nice! If can combine ibar with ibox and modify Enlightenment menu, I must be do it because it is a great idea but I not a good coder. I need more developer to do this.

Hi! I'm very exciting with moonOS, it's my main Operating System from two months ago and I have some suggestions:

1) Please replace GDM with SliM in my system i won 3-4 seconds when starts. Also Slim it's very easy to configure and easy themable with only 1 text file.

2) I love Gnome Do, i think that is fundamental for searching files, launch aplications, etc, but it's very heavy. There are an excelent alternartive developed with python: KUPFER. If this it loads when starts it will be a good feature!!!

3) Finally, I think like kaylord:
