<div dir="ltr">Hi Francesco,<div><br></div><div>I can only agree with what Alex wrote (the maintenance situation, porting to Gtk3, starting with smaller components).

<br class="gmail_msg">
these days not much happens on the "thunar-dev" mailing-list. (ca.
1 mail per month) Most things are discussed on "xfce4-dev".<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
I am new to the xfce4 community myself, however regarding Thunar
the first thing to achieve probably is to get the gtk3 port
finished. The whole xfce4 stack currently moves from gtk2 to gtk3.
Thunar is probably one of the bigger junks to be moved.<br class="gmail_msg">
There is already some ongoing development on it, but it seems like
the port still is experimental:<br class="gmail_msg">

<br class="gmail_msg">
I dont know the current state .. best directly talk to the dev's
which work on thunar and exo, and ask them where you can help.<br class="gmail_msg">
If you dont have experience with gtk, it probably makes sense to
first move some smaller xfce4 projects to gtk3 to get used to it!
( There used to be some list of projects to be moved, but I dont
know where it can be found )<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
CC to xfce4 dev ... please correct me if I am wrong!<br class="gmail_msg">
