Gentoo Xfce ProjectXfce is a fast, lightweight desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems. It is designed for productivity, and is quite configurable while still adhering to the Freedesktop specifications. Unlike heavier desktop environments, such as Gnome and KDE, Xfce uses far fewer system resources. Additionally, it offers greater modularity and fewer dependencies; it takes up less space on your hard disk and takes less time to install. The Gentoo Xfce Project aims to bring the current and complete Xfce desktop environment to Gentoo. We maintain the Xfce libraries, key applications, and various add-ons that are part of the Xfce desktop.
All developers can be reached by e-mail using nickname@gentoo.org. The tasks of the xfce project are: Stabilize 4.4.1 - Stabilize Xfce 4.4.1 (finished) Since Xfce 4.4 was stabilized, upstream has released version 4.4.1, an update with numerous bugfixes and improvements. It has been in ~arch long enough, and is ready to be stabilized.
Stabilize 4.4 - Stabilize Xfce 4.4 (finished) Now that the upstream developers have released version 4.4, we need to finish adding the various packages to Portage. It has recently been unmasked. The next step is to get it all stabilized. However, this requires a good amount of testing on as many arches as possible.
Other Bugs - Fix and close any open bugs Our other open bugs are viewable at http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=xfce. Thankfully, there aren't too many. Still, any and all assistance in tracking down, resolving, and closing these bugs is great appreciated. Your help leads to a better Xfce desktop.
