Xfce SIG?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

I'd like to do a bit of informal polling here and see if there is
enough interest in forming a Xfce SIG. 

Right now, I maintain the Xfce packages and help with plugins, 
Christoph Wickert maintains all the plugins and helps with the main
packages, and Rahul Sundaram maintains the Xfce spin. 

Are there enough other people out there interested in Xfce to make
forming a SIG worthwhile?

I have been really busy of late and would love some help with a few of
the Xfce enhancement bugs at least: 

433573 - RFE: add mixer and trash applett to the default panel config
(needs clean patch)

433838 - RFE: Fedora icon in desktop menu
(has a patch, but somehow is not working fully right). 

Ideas, patches, suggestions are always welcome, but if there are enough
folks out there that want to contribute we can form up a SIG. 

Feel free to email me directly or followup to this post to show your
interest. 

Thanks, 

kevin

Hi Kevin,

I was thinking about this for a while, and I would like to show my interest.

You may or may not remember me from the times I've emailed you about 
XFCE, but I am a full time XFCE user. I've also dabbed at directly 
communicating with the XFCE group (bug reports, etc). Unfortunately my 
time for actual coding is light, so I may not be able to be productive 
but I would like to be involved.

Also something to consider is to reach out to the XFCE group and the 
Xubutnu group to collaborate more uniformly. It seems that the Xubuntu 
group rarely talks to the XFCE group, and the XFCE group rarely speaks 
to anyone outside. XFCE has good design models in place and it would be 
a shame for KDE and Gnome to keep this good project buried in publicity.

Regards,
Mike

Every bit helps. ;)

Yeah, it would be good for everyone to work closely with upstream. :)

Lets see if there is enough interest for a SIG here, and no matter
what, please do keep reporting bugs and helping when and where you can. 
All contributions welcome.

I would like to be a lurker.

Ditto.  I like to use XFCE on my virtual machine on my laptop, but I don't know 
whether I'll be able to contribute any serious time other than bug reports.  If 
an effort to improve xfce gets started I'll focus more of my bug reporting time 
to it though. /sighs last quarter of grad school.

I thought there was enough interest expressed that I went ahead and 
created the Xfce SIG.

Feel free to join folks. If you are listed, make sure you contribute 
something though ;-)
