GoneME

GoneME was a fork (software) of the GNOME desktop. It was created in 2004 by Ali Akcaagac, a former GNOME-Foundation member and long years contributor to the GNOME project, who was disappointed in the direction GNOME was taking, and wanted to make some substantial changes.

The project has been disbanded.
