History
Due to developer constraints, the version of GNOME included with Slackware was inferior to that of many other distributions, and was later dropped entirely from the distribution. Dropline GNOME was created to account for the shortcomings and to fill the void left by this decision.
Todd Kulesza, dropline GNOME's founder, has retired from further work on it. Dropline GNOME is now being maintained by a small group of volunteers from around the world who build different parts of the system.
