There are people here from GNOME, KDE, WindowMaker, and AfterStep, so far as I recall.  As to any concrete projects being underway, I don't know of any, but that doesn't
mean that they're not quietly being started.

I was thinking much the same thing as you about using existing environments as jumping-off points for UIs for children.  Rather than picking and concentrating on a single
one, though, I'd like to see us come up with guidelines that can be used to "kidize" multiple window managers, environments, and programs.
