Although not on the R14 release road map, does anybody want to help
resolve the many bug reports related to Sym Links Incorrect and
Unknown icon type?
I probably reported every single problem, but I don't know how to
resolve them. I'm guessing after a couple of each are resolved that
a pattern will emerge to allow resolving the remainder.

I just bought my first laptop (really, my very first!). A
refurbished Thinkpad T400. I'm days away from getting a working
Linux based system, but I need to know how both wired/wireless
networking is supported in Trinity. Mostly, how to easily toggle
between wired and wireless. I plan to use both with the laptop.
Do the main Trinity packages provide that support or do I have to
add other network packages?
Slackware handles networking differently from other distros, so
this might be an opportunity to provide some meaningful (newbie)
testing and debugging. :-)
Thanks. :-)

Tim,
I was surprised when I found out that packages like tdebase-kio-trinity are
still available in the apt repository, although it has been replaced by a
more than three months ago. These packages now causing problems when updating
from 3.5.13.x to nightly-builds.
How is it possible that these packages not disappeared a long time ago?
How to fix it?
Besides, I noticed that the package ubuntu-trinity-rename-meta is in the
build-deps and is not part of tde-packaging (probably could be named simply
trinity-rename-meta, and should be included in the main repository).
I think that the version of this dummy package should be set to 14.0.0,
because otherwise they can not help with the transition => packages are in
conflict with renamed packages.

All,
I am still attempting to stay approximately on schedule for R14 release
per our Etherpad here: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/39
As a result, I am announcing a soft freeze of TDE starting 06/20/2013 at
00:00 GMT. If there are any new features or enhancements that should make
their way into R14.0.0, now is the time to commit them to GIT before the
freeze.
Depending on how quickly the remaining bug reports can be resolved, a hard
freeze will be announced in the coming week/weeks.
Once again, thank you all for your hard work on TDE; it is much appreciated!

I updated the etherpad dates. Hard freeze is a tentative 2013-07-13.

After a long delay, automated nightly builds of Ubuntu LiveCDs with TDE
R14 are now available at
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/
These LiveCDs offer a convenient way to test TDE R14 (or the current
development branch) without risk of damaging your existing installation.
They are currently experimental, however as R14 nears release an official
LiveCD will be released from this autogenerated CD set. Therefore, if you
want to help the offical LiveCD quality, please download the latest ISO,
test it, and report any defects to the bugtracker.
Enjoy!

Looks fine. I presume the two screenshots are actually the same
defaults in 3.5.13.2? If not then perhaps update the screenshots. :-

There is an etherpad roadmap for R14:
