Enlightenment 0.17, the big, long awaited new release of the Enlightenment project, has been in the making for a long time now - since December 2000, to be precise. E17, as it became known, is a complete rewrite of Enlightenment, complete with a set of base libraries (the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) turning it into a full-fledged desktop environment, complete with its own set of base libraries for building applications. Last November, main developer Carsten 'Rasterman' Haitzler stated that there were only two big to-do items left blocking the release of E17. We're now a few months ahead, so I contacted Rasterman to see what's what.

Been waiting for E17 for a very long time, one of the first window managers I ever became comfortable with was E16 but it wasn't long before it was passed up by the other full desktops. I'm sure many will disagree, but I feel like with the work that's been thrown behind Gnome and KDE recently that E17 is losing it's relevancy. Maybe my idea of who the audience that E17 is targeting is out of date, anyone have any idea what that might be today?
