FAQ

  1. What are the motivations?
    • Xfce is a desktop environment that comes with core components and some applications. Xfce Directory provides a clean web interface to select quality data and is the first effort in good eye-candy selection for the end-user. While it focuses on themes, it will grow and focus on applications aswell with a selection of end-user applications.
  2. Can I join the team?
    • Sure, we always look forward for motivated people to maintain a bunch of data. You will need a good sense of organization, and little time to decide if data is qualified for the website.
  3. How does the Xfce Selection work?
  4. Can I upload content from another author?
  5. Will there be a rating system?
    • Not sure. A 5 stars rating by anonymous users is a possibility.
