It's a critical but difficult issue. But obviously the development of the best desktop environment that exists cannot be weighed down or stopped by personal issues. This is not a criticism to anyone, we should be grateful to those who have contributed even if today the lack of time or other personal reasons make them no longer active. But TDE development must continue, there are many people who use it (even if they seem invisible because they are not developers / contributors or do not participate in the mailing lists). A robust infrastructure system that is resilient to personal issues must be sought and put in place. It is necessary to deploy the infrastructure on quality servers that do not depend on a specific person, so I understand the two appropriate questions are "Are there people, companies or organizations that can provide infrastructure to the project?" (it is possible to search and contact those who support other free software projects of similar size and needs) and "If there is not enough server infrastructure provided free of charge for the deployment of all the infrastructure, what is the cost (monthly and annual) of paying for commercial servers with the necessary features?" (and consider the feasibility of a cash donation campaign).



Best regards.

Slávek,

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response.  I think a 14.0.6
announcement to -user and -devel would be worthwhile.

I will try to contact Tim (again).

I'm not going to rush any changes but medium-term if (a) we cannot reach
Tim and (b) there is a consensus among all major contributors then I
could consider changing the source for the primary mirror.  (We feed all
the secondary mirrors.)

Incidentally trinitydesktop.org domain registration expires in less than
a year.
