2011/11/11 Vadim Zhukov <persgray(a)gmail.com>om>: Looks like no feedback means plain "no". Anyway, I've seen that Trinity does not allow easy migration from KDE3, so one of the main points to port it here is gone. Anyway, I wish all the best to TDE developers. :) Good luck!

Hi Vadim, Vadim Zhukov wrote: There will be a project meeting on IRC also meant for packagers on Tuesday. Maybe you could join as well. If you have any needs as a packager from the Trinity project, this would be a good moment express them. Here is more info: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/15 I understand the Qt4 port is lower priority now. Timothy can explain this the best, but I'm sure help in this area would still be very welcome. In any case, good luck with both the KDE 4 port and the Trinity port!
