Is there some strong reason we need to kill it? I understand why there might not be priority for others to fix it, but if I were willing to repair it, can it stay? I don't know anything about this component personally, but I'd like to see the traditional CDE toolkit and application base stay intact where at all possible.
Separate maintainership is one possiblity, but I have reservations regarding splitting up the CDE codebase... > TBH, I'd like to get rid of dtmail as well, unless someone wants to > drag it into the 21st century. Okay, definitely I want dtmail to stay. Yes, it needs some help. Completing the IMAP support would go a long ways. It's on my list of items to attend to; I can try to bump it up in priority. > Besides, there are far better font editors out there, if that's your thing. Some people would undoubtedly argue that there are far better (more capable, modern, etc) desktop environemnts out there. Obviously, some of us still care about this one, undoubtedly for a variety of reasons. So I guess this is a reasonable time to ask, what is your vision for the CDE project? Do you want to maintain this legacy product as-is, keeping it alive? Do you want to modernize it somehow? Do you want it mainly to serve the purposes of the developer base here, and people who don't want to let go of their old familiar environment? Do you want to stage a coup and overthrow Gnome/KDE/Unity? =) I know those are broad questions, I'm just wondering what you're thinking in general; if there's a master plan, or what. This type of question is important, I think, when considering things like platform support, and which programs we want to maintain. -mrt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ cdesktopenv-devel mailing list cdesktopenv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdesktopenv-devel
