linuxbytes We aren't really interested in community-maintained editions, though I appreciate the offer.
I wasn't saying that i3 is off the table as an official edition, but it will at least need more of an out-of-box-experience than the other editions because of the learning curve for new users and we would probably want to evaluate some software not in the repos as alternatives for the default applications. Given how much we are already focused on updating the core tooling for Solus this year, that just isn't a priority right now.
