I would be willing to help out but I won't be a driving force behind this. 
This is basically what I offered to the Xfce team too and they got rejected 
for participating by google.

right now I'm not very positive about google. google does this for google, not 
for the open source projects, otherwise they would be named sourceforge.

If anyone wants to pull this then please discuss this on the lunar-dev 
mailinglist, where we can make decisions. For now, I think it's not worth the 
effort, and I'd rather concentrate on supporting Xfce with their 4.4 release, 
and starting up an x86_64 port.
