Part of his point was that the installation instructions on the website do not result in a working system. This is something we talked about here several months ago, and nothing has been done about it. Repeating what I said then, how many people do you think have found the website, tried to install Trinity according to the instructions there, ended up with a hopelessly buggy system and a lot of time wasted, and will never try Trinity again? Lou is one of a tiny minority who have come to the mailing list looking for help -- many, many more simply go away quietly.
How hard would it really be to fix the website? What would it take -- 20 minutes? And how many are there here who are perfectly capable of doing it if given access? It would move the project from a few developers and die-hard dedicated groupies, to an actual viable DE that anyone can install and use. I would've thought that would be a pretty high priority, but what do I know?
