-A preview of HTML static pages is available on [[http://dir.m8t.mine.nu/oxalis/]].+Possibilities of deployments: 
 + 
 +  * A website directory.xfce.org 
 +  * A namespace inside the wiki e.g. %%http://wiki.xfce.org/directory/…%% 
 +    * To manage a team we can allow who has write access to the directory namespace 
 +    * Why that would suffice?  We most probably don't except tons of content per day, but better one or two additions per week

 The Xfce Directory provides a simple interface to download quality content and minimize hours of search for a nice desktop.  Unlike xfce-look.org, it will accept content after selection/decision by the team. The Xfce Directory provides a simple interface to download quality content and minimize hours of search for a nice desktop.  Unlike xfce-look.org, it will accept content after selection/decision by the team.

 +==== Image preview ====
 +
 +We could attach a little bit of Javascript to preview a glimpse of a theme on mouse over.  Or just a bit of Javascript to display a bigger resolution inside a tooltip.
 +
 +==== Meta packages ====
 +
 +Several selections (e.g. meta packages) of bundled themes.  Idea: add configuration files for the panel, desktop, etc. as to provide different default desktops!

-==== FAQ ==== 
  
-  - **What are the motivations?** 
-    * Xfce is a desktop environment that comes with core components and some applications.  Xfce Directory provides a clean web interface to select quality data and is the first effort in good eye-candy selection for the end-user.  While it focuses on themes, it will grow and focus on applications aswell with a selection of end-user applications. 
-  - **Can I join the team?** 
-    * Sure, we always look forward for motivated people to maintain a bunch of data.  You will need a good sense of organization, and little time to decide if data is qualified for the website. 
-  - **How does the Xfce Selection work?** 
-  - **Can I upload content from another author?** 
-  - **Will there be a rating system?** 
-    * Not sure.  A 5 stars rating by anonymous users is a possibility, but the tags are more interesting.  Tags like good, very-good, awesome, ... those tags are either admin-defined or by number of downloads (delta between two dates would be more accurate and avoid an eternel TOP 1).
