Hi everybody, 

 

I've been mostly away from CDE for a while. Working as a database admin for
the company that's responsible for distributing the Covid vaccines in
Germany did leave little room for anything else. 

 

Having a couple weeks off for the first time since August 2020, so I decided
to sit in front of a computer some more. And I come with good news: we can
add a new platform to our building pages. Using WSL2 and xrdp CDE runs
perfectly fine on Windows 10. I'll post the building instructions in the
Wiki tomorrow. 

 

Speaking of which. The Wiki is in bad need of a major overhaul. We have
separate building pages for the BSD's despite the fact that they are almost
identical, and several Linux building pages. Others on the other hand are
buried with no main menu entry and we have few pages past the building
process. So I thought I'd do some major work on it. Is there anyone who
would object to that?

Second: I've written a little tool that detects other window managers, like
window maker, icewm and desktop environments, like xfce and mate and
installs them as additional sessions in dtlogin. Who are the comitters I can
send it to for evaluation?

Third: Is there any work being done on the dtinfo and documentation issue
and is there a rough release plan? I'm asking because I'm considering to
apply for official BSD port status for CDE, so it'll be buildable for users
within their usual package manager. If I can lend a hand, feel free to ask 

Fourth: I've run the current version through nearly all systems we have in
the Wiki and they all build properly. The raspberry pie page needs to be
brought up to date, which I'll do in the coming date. 

That's enough questions for the start. 
Cheers, Danilo
