About Thunar development

[Landry Breuil]

Fwiw,

for the maintenance work i do on some panel plugins + testing the dev
releases and reporting bugs, i use my daily operating system.. OpenBSD,
with vim as IDE.
You dont need a specific linux distro nor a specific IDE to contribute to
Xfce :)
Some people like geany as IDE, since it's also GTK+ and lightweight.
