Well, I can perfectly understand lack of manpower to create another 'branch'.
It's ok. However - can you allow anonymous users to create it by themselves
and make it available to the public? howtos, etc? Maybe someone [maybe me]
would be able to do it.
Installing XFCE from within another DE is kinda not what the "default
desktop" attitude is all about. I guess you could delete LXDE branch and tell
LXDE users they can install LXDE from within Gnome anyway, so 'there's no big
deal'.
Besides - bear in mind that doing it all by yourself is - again - against
Trisquel goals and main user audience I guess. Or am I wrong? then everyone
can use netinstall.
XFCE is just a good alternative for Gnome and LXDE.
Gnome is kinda overloaded with stuff I didn't really use, has many
dependencies and just doesn't feel right.
LXDE - on the other hand - is kinda limited. It doesn't even provide users
with reasonable keybinding editor, doesn't allow to create shortcuts on
desktop, etc.
Anyway - don't get me wrong. I am very pleased Trisquel is there. Actually,
I've never seen such a great implementation of Gnome: it's incredibly fast
and light.
I do appreciate your hard work and I do accept the fact there will be no
official XFCE version of Trisquel.
Thank you for your kind answers,
Best regards,
