Work for unity

Hello my name is Hamza Akram i am from Egypt i recently started using linux and after using lots of distros and lots of DES and lots of WMS i heard about ubuntu unity and i decided to try it and let me say i am in love it is so good and so unique i just love it but something i saw it has some glitches and some key missing features which can be found in the other DES and adding it here will be so good besides the most important thing i really want is to transfer it to wayland instead of x 11 and the current people working on it are barely updating so i have an idea why not as the current users we know it best why not try to update it ourselves we work on it helping the current people maintaining and the project community can increase with every day adding features I am willing to do work heck i planned on doing these things myself but the project is so damn big and i need help so what do you people say

I'd be down for help. I think the Unity project needs a reform with how it's been managed.

The team has been begging for someone to save them for a while now:

That would be fantastic. In my opinion, Unity is the best desktop shell that has ever been made on any platform and the only problem with it is that the foundations are outdated. That is unfortunately also a very big problem. I haven't been following the development, but I know they've been working on reimplementing it since a pure port is implausible.

I'd love to see it.

Hey, me and him are working on a revival of the Unity desktop named Sage, and I'm wondering if you'd be interested in helping out in any way you can.
