Yes, OT is kind of "on hold" for the moment. But some small features are being added and it is very solid and stable. There are far bigger fish to fry. Also, I think that there is a lot of uncertainty about what the desktop *should* look like. No one knows what the "next big thing" in UI will be. Of course, that's only one part of the story - it's not that I would have a ton of patches waiting for me to check them in; there aren't many developers doing active work on OT either. I am the maintainer, but that doesn't mean that I would have to do all the work by myself - of course I will do, because I have great plans, but if there were 10 dedicated people sitting on it, it would progress a bit faster ;-) OTOH I've stated most of my plans, I have some people wanting to help me, Hugo Santos is working on getting SVG support (vectorized icons) into Tracker, etc. There is definitely work going on, but it may take some time before everyone will see the results. Furthermore, Tracker is already a great product - it's working very nice, and is very convenient to use, so it's not a big problem that it doesn't progress as fast as other software, or system components. Having said that, stay tuned :-) Adios... Axel.
