You should add cosmic-greeter as well:

Already added that :)

Ah I was looking at the list like it was A-Z and I missed it, sorry!

New COSMIC blog, I wonder how feasible a COSMIC NixOS channel is in Matrix considering GNOME has one.

[nyabinary]

I feel like a Matrix channel is for the best since there needs to be a centralized effort to try to package the DE.

[viperML]

Looking forward to a matrix channel to cooperate the effort. I would be intersted in contributing to the packages or module(s).

Same here !

@viperML @GaetanLepage I made an unofficial Matrix space that isn't officially authorized by the Nix Foundation right here:

[billksun]

Hmm how else can we move this effort forward?

I would get on the main Nix/NixOS Matrix channel and see if you can get in touch with a mod there to create an official channel for COSMIC DE.

I think this is the official channel for Matrix suggestions in the NixOS space.

We're an official Nix Matrix room now!
