Personally, as a TDE user, I would like to see a focus on making TDE more
polished and more robust. What it doesn't need is feature creep. Some
modern niceties, sure, but what brought us back to TDE was a great desktop
manager that WORKS. I would like to see it stay that way. If CPU cycles
can be freed in the process, GREAT! If not, I don't see CPU's getting any
slower.

The TDE
project appears to me to be short of developers,
money and other
resources already. Would increasing the number of
versions help with that???
We would not release two versions of Trinity. I'm seeking only a team of
people to investigate what can be done to create a Trinity Light. What
features can be disabled during the compiling process? Which Control Center
settings can be changed? Etc.
The goal is to create a wiki article about creating Trinity Light. Who
actually releases such a version is something downstream packagers and
users decide.
I also often wonder whether those of us who are
simply not
capable of helping
with the development, aren't just a millstone around the
necks of those of
you who contribute so much. Do you lot actually
*want* users? We seem to me
to add nothing other than problems!
As a close friend often would quip, those are the kinds of problems we
want to have. :)
Basically, more users should mean more developers too. But if not, more
users is still a good thing. :)
