Hello XFCE developers, I am Ajrat Makhmutov, a maintainer of the Linux distribution ALT Linux. I like XFCE and want to help make it even better for users. I have an idea to create a welcome application for XFCE, similar to plasma-welcome in KDE or the welcome app in GNOME. This app could help new users to learn about XFCE and set up their system. For this project, I would like to use Blueprint. Blueprint is a new tool from GNOME that helps to create GTK interfaces more easily. I think it can be good for making the welcome app. Link: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/blueprint-compiler I know that XFCE usually uses pure GTK. I want to ask the community if it is okay to use Blueprint for this idea. I do not want to make problems or go against what XFCE likes. Please tell me your thoughts. If the community does not like this idea, I can try another way. I just want to help and make something useful for XFCE. Thank you for your time and for reading my email. Best regards, Ajrat Makhmutov ALT Linux Maintainer
