Hi Riley, I am one of the main devs.
TL;DR: TDE is here to stay and any contributions will help and will be welcomed.
TDE is pretty much alive. We have two regular releases each year and each of them brings some enhancement, bug fixes, new apps and whatever is needed to keep TDE running on modern distros.
The place to be for developers is the TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW): https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea. All code changes go through there and if you "watch" the various repositories, you will have notifications for the various PRs. Alternatively you can see the list of commits at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches If you plan to contribute changes, please do so using TGW (user guide at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace), I have made you a Contributor so you can create PRs. Don't fork repositories, use branches (see user guide).
Thank you.
of bug fixes and the migration to
CMake are stalled indefinitely due to issues with adding support for Qt4? Why not drop it and try for Qt5/6 instead?
All the code is in TGW, but some applications are part of bigger repositories like tdelibs or tdebase for example. The guidelines for TDE developments are (in order of importance):
- stability: we don't follow the latest eye-catching trend, we want a
system that is stable and doesn't force you to relearn all your key shortcuts with every release 2. keeping pace with time: things in distro change all the time, so we want to make sure TDE can keep running when that happens 3. enhancement/new functionality: when possible we improve things or add new applications, but we try not to alienate users (see Windows 8 and the start menu experience or the KDE 4.0 release experience for how NOT to do it.)
I agree totally. The beauty of Trinity is that it's a traditional desktop environment that still works with modern applications (to the best of it's ability), stability and reliability over trends and gimmicks.
