I've seen quite a few users propose ideas, such as a new GUI, or new functionality, only to be told it doesn't fit in with the Core Goal of ReactOS.
If anyone wants to modify their desktop, go for it! It is your system and soon Ros will be able to support some of the functionality needed to run KDE mingw32 or Cygwin-XFree!
ReactOS is all about creating a Win32-compatible Operating System. Now, later on, when the Kernel is sufficiently developed, we can do what Linux does, and create "Distributions".
Anyone can create a distribution, this is gnu gpl project, go for it!
I had a look at the KDE/Ros Thread, and noted that a version of that, and GNOME may well be available for Windows next year.
If the UI Team chooses to Grow, you can offer, for example mind you, a Core ReactOS System, with Windows Classic, and one or more "Distributions", with a different GUI, such as KDE or GNOME.
Same goes for ReactOS in different 'roles'. Offering versions aimed at Workstations, Servers, or even for Educational/Testing use, would be feasible down the line.
Just my 0.02c
Just have fun! James
