Although on low-power machines I notice a very serious startup lag (noticed it on Julien's VM).

We exchanged a few words about it with Julien and PCMan. All I know is I have some pretty serious issues with razor-session as well (currently razor-session simply doesn't start anything on my machine; I can't retest here though since I switched everything to lxqt). I honestly think development should be focused on a systemd-compatible session manager first, aka whatever the devs currently are using in majority. > > - project infrastructure. > - At least bugtracker.

I've been filing everything in pcmanfm-qt's bugtracker to keep things in one place, but maybe we should keep all the small ones closed and open the bugtracker on the "meta" github repo. Either that or have bugs.lxde.org set up with bugzilla or something, but that can be done later. We can use github in the meantime as it's very little setup. > - maybe it's time to stop using both mailing lists (lxde and > razor) and start to use only one to reduce message load Yes. And let's get lists.lxde.org is set up. I pinged about that two days ago, what's the status? Once it's set up, announce it on razor list and I'll update the readme on razor's github to mention lxqt. > > > but anyway - I'm happy with it again. > cheers, > p. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription > Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation. > Intel(R) Software Adrenaline delivers strategic insight and game-changing > conversations that shape the rapidly evolving mobile landscape.
