[Goodies-dev] Getting started with goodies-dev

[Gearoid Murphy]

You can get the all the Xfce builds from here: http://git.xfce.org/.
The libxfcegui4 project appears to be active, there's a stream of recent
commits but the project is marked as deprecated????

Is there anyone else on this mailing list?, it seems very silent for a
project as prevalent as Xfce...
