Unfortunately the porting process is not exactly straightforward, there is no definitive guide, you start by updating the Makefile.am and <a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a>, bumping versions, compile and see what breaks.

Oh, and please do small commits (as you'll notice by looking at other components) instead of a single/monolithic "GTK3 Port".<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>André Miranda<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 10:39 AM, Francesco Pasa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:francescopasa@gmail.com" target="_blank">francescopasa@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hi,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I totally agree that I need to start from something small.

Hi Francesco,<br>
<br>
I can only agree with what Alex wrote (the maintenance situation, porting<br>
to Gtk3, starting with smaller components). The roadmap, which is sorta up<br>
to date, can be found here: <a href="https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4<wbr>.14/roadmap</a><br>
<br>
That said, it is also a question of motivation and of reading the code that<br>
is there already, as we don't really have the manpower to tutor people.<br>
It's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is at the moment.<br>
Anyway, welcome and I hope you'll find the time and motivation to<br>
contribute!<br>
<br>
If you need help, don't hesitate to ask either on the mailing list or<br>
directly in irc (#xfce-dev on freenode).<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Simon<br>
