This would be just wonderful to have you joining forces. I've started
the thread with idea to join forces with razor-qt team. In case someone
doesn't know, I'm the main developer of libfm and pcmanfm at the time
being, mainly because PCMan has a lot less time and I have much more and
I have interest in making it. Yes, I'm working with GTK but last time we
found out that making it compatible with such fast changing GTK3 doesn't
worth all the efforts. Therefore Qt looks like as viable alternative for
another toolkit instead of GTK3 and PCMan started his experiments with Qt
and it is what libfm-qt / pcmanfm-qt are. Yes, I can handle all bugs and
feature requests for libfm / pcmanfm alone, but what with another LXDE
components? LXDE team has very few developers. But since razor-qt has not
too many developers too and they have the same goals (not build monstrous
integrated complex but rather a desktop toolkit) I think it would be
beneficial for both teams to join forces. And since you want something
alike, that sound very promicing. But we should get razor-qt voices first
I believe. From LXDE side - I and PCMan support the idea, some other
developers aren't sure yet.
Andriy.
