[tde-users] Re: RHow dead is Trinity and is it worth contributing to?

Since then (2002) I've been using KDE3. I had some issues with internationalization, which I fixed after I finished my thesis at the university. After KDE4 release (Jan.2008) many of us were so disappointed that Timothy Pearson decided to start the TDE project together with just a handful of other developers and maintainers. The rest of us just followed, because there was no way out of the desktop disaster that was imposed to the users back then (Suddenly KDE4 was not usable and Gnome was ugly and fragile, while KDE3 was left behind). I think one of the reasons was also the attitude of the new KDE4 developers. Especially in the past few years we observe a growing number of people willing and ready to contribute. I think there were about 5-6 contributors around 2011 and now there are 20-30. It is still not enough to make a big progress, but my impression is that things are moving forward much faster. Especially Slavek and Michele deserve a lot of respect for what they have been doing all those years. BR
