Hello,
I just stumbled upon the Fresco project.  It sounds like a great idea.  I 
do think that X has to be replaced by something like Fresco.

I have a few questions.  I am not subscribed to this list, so you would 
have to CC your response to me.

- When will 'normal people' be able to start using Fresco?
I know you can't give me a precise schedule, but you can probably tell me 
if it's in the order of 5 months or 5 years.

- How hard will it be to port current apps to Fresco?
At the very least I figure we have to port OpenOffice, Gtk+ and Qt.  Is 
that doable?

- Will it be possible to run X and Fresco at the same time? (like the way 
MacOS X ca run Aqua and X).  This would facilitate the trancision to 
Fresco.

Thanks,
