First off. To make something I can develop (OI) on.
In a wider scope; cure what ails it (perceived). IOW I'd really like
to get on board with OI as my go-to OS. But it (currently) lacks man
power and resources. I'd like help overcome th(at|ose) obstical(s).
I'm looking to create an additional install against both Xfce &&
Cinnamon. But before that I see some things that I've become accustomed
to aren't working as I would expect. So I'll need to address them first.
fe; a directory listing of /usr/include takes some 20 seconds. All
screen draws stutter like the first black-and-white films. Something
appears to be broken. Other things may just be a lack of fully
understanding on my part -- like the multiple consoles.
In any event. I'd just like to "pitch in", and either fix or add
to OI. :-)

Thanks for your reply, John!
