As we have discussed at #xfce-dev, I created a github fork
(github.com/andreldm/thunar), applied the changes from
rgcjonas/thunar-gtk3 on top of the current master and made two small
fixes to make it compile again. Taking a quick look, things are
mostly working, I could only spot broken icons when using Compact
List and Icons views. I think that the job now is to assess the
regressions (and fix them) and handle the deprecations warnings (not
the most urgent task, but very welcome).<br>
<br>
So I propose to anyone that wishes to collaborate to fork my fork
and make pull requests (or ask me push rights if you will) then
eventually we should be able to get thunar in shape to merge with
master @ git.xfce.org.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

</div>
<div>that's great!</div>
<div>Please note that Thunar isn't very stable as it is in Gtk2,
mostly threading stuff as far as I can tell.</div>

<div>There are various efforts which have been undertaken by
different people, there is a fairly old but probably ok approach
from Nick on <a href="http://git.xfce.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">git.xfce.org</a> and there are also two
(unfinished?) ports on github. So the first job would be
evaluating those efforts and merging them meaningfully.</div>
<div>Furthermore you'll face several design decisions, e.g.
regarding custom widgetry or exo.</div>

</div>
<div>Providing your work on github is a good start.</div>

</div>
<div>You should definitely join the irc channel though, helps with
getting answers and hopefully guidance at times. Please be
patient though, people aren't always around.</div>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I would like to start work on moving thunar to gtk3.
However I have some very basic questions:</p>
<p>I dont have an account for <a
href="http://git.xfce.org" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">git.xfce.org</a> yet.</p>
<p>Should I get an account first to be able to generate a
branch there?</p>
<p>Or is it as well fine for you if I fork & provide
the result on e.g. github ?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regarding the right codebase:<br>
</p>
<p>Should I branch the master of <a rel="vcs-git"
title="thunar Git repository" moz-do-not-send="true">git://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar</a>
?</p>
<p>Or should I use some of the (real old) work in process
repos as base, which are suggested here: <a
href="https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap/thunar"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap/thunar
</a>?</p>
