Cairo shell is now OpenSource

Literally 12 hours ago, in the official Cairo shell blog, the project was announced to switch to OpenSource status. The git repository has been opened on github.com.
For those who don’t know, I note that Cairo Shell is an alternative shell for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows XP is not officially supported and tests are not conducted on it.

Currently, you can download the public alpha version of Milestone 1.9 from September 22. Unfortunately, it does not have the main “killer” features, such as: a dynamic desktop and several desktops. In the alpha version there is a beautiful socket, tray, as well as a taskbar and support for those (which are not yet available).
