Hi,
I have a few questions about the Trinity project status,(part of them
seem to have been partially discussed on the list):
- Is Trinity endorsed in any way by the KDE project (except the share
of sources repository)?
- Are there original KDE3 developpers involved in Trinity development?
If so, I'd really like to know if they do it because KDE4 broke too much
things (and/or they consider a desktop environment should not break
things this way)?
- What are the long term perspectives about Trinity?
Will Trinity become something different than KDE3 or it keep it as
close as possible?
I mean, the move from KDE3 to KDE4 changed & broke a lots of things
that I used to work with since 2004. I'd really like a desktop
environment that doesn't change too much, that keeps its basis stable
(eg. themes can evolve, apps be improved, but keep it functionally the
same!).
By the end, I really think it's a matter of "respect for users": if one
changes things like KDE4 did, what do we have to think about respect
they have (or don't have) for their users? OK KDE4 is beautiful, etc.
but it's deaply another desktop environment (also deeply slow in some
particular configurations such as konsole/nvidia ships), so why should I
continue to use KDE desktops? I almost think KDE4 should have change its
name to something else OR... KDE3 should have been officially
maintained... or Trinity officially endorsed (is that the case?)!
So, what's going on?
Thank you,
Nicolas
PS: Do you have an idea about the approximate number of Trinity users?
It seems this list is always growing...
