    I am running Xubuntu 14.04 and am still on XFCE 4.10, i see the roadmap dates for XFCE have all had there dates crossed out. Does this mean that the XFCE desktop suite has no developers? I'd sort of like to know so that I can start searching for another Desktop suite to use instead. I love the lightweightness of XFCE, maybe I should go try LXDE.
    Necromancer, have a look at http://git.xfce.org

      Over the past 2 months there have been 79 unique committers, via email address, as noted via https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-commits/ so it seems fairly active. I don't know what the distribution breaks down to though so it may be a lot of work in non core areas, or relatively small fixes. Perhaps someone has a script that can parse git emails to make a pretty graph.

          Sure, but it doesn't appear to be being kept up to date. The last upload appears to have been on April 2, 2014 and there are no builds for 14.04 yet.

          This is the Xubuntu Developers team. The primary tasks of this team are:   1) Maintenance of core Xubuntu applications   2) Maintenance of Xfce and Xubuntu packages, including the development and review of patches   3) Management of the default package selection and settings This team is moderated; only users with sustained contributions to the team will be considered for approval. Read more about contributing to this team at http://xubuntu.org/contribute/development/

            You can always just use KDE with compositing disabled. ( Alt + Shift + F12, then uncheck it in system settings)

              Right, because everyone know KDE magically turns into Xfce if you disable compositing.

              But seriously, I doubt many of us run Xfce without Xfwm's own or an external compositor.
