Hi, Like Kevin said, currently working on updating the Gtk+ / GNOME stacks to the latest where ever possible. But MATE isn't forgotten, Eric Turgeon has been doing a good job of submitting pull requests and we got a mate-1.18 branch in our development repo. When the gnome work slows down I will start looking at MATE. Cinnamon is looking for volenteers, these ports are old. If someone is interested in helping, I'm more then happy to make a branch in our development repo where you can base you work off. -Koop > I know he is aware of the status of Mate and, now that the base ports > (mostly libraries) are updated, I am hoping for an update. > > Support is almost all from volunteers.
