What does "release a desktop" mean?

Do you mean, a Linux distro based around an integrated setup using
Window Maker and GNUstep?

If so, I agree. I would like to help. I've wanted to make such a thing
for some time, but I don't know where to begin.

(I say Linux because I do not think any of the other FOSS Unixes are
really ready for the mass-market yet - and indeed most Linux
distributions aren't, either.)
