Developers behind the lightweight Qt-based Razor-qt and LXDE-Qt desktops met up at KDE's Akademy 2013 conference. During the annual KDE developer conference, the two lightweight desktops decided to merge their efforts around LXDE-Qt.

With Razor-qt struggling in terms of manpower and their v0.6 release falling behind, they've decided to do the 0.6 release and after that pick the best pieces of Razor-qt and LXDE-Qt and merge them to one. Developers from both projects are on board and they hope it will drive development manpower behind this new lightweight Qt desktop, but the LXDE developers have yet to decide if they will become a member of the KDE project.

No complaints from me. LXDE and Razor were two peas in the same pod. The only difference is LXDE is(was) written in GTK and the Razor in Qt. With the LXDE project moving to Qt, this is a good chance of consolidating resources and making something that's good, great! ^_^
 
Is there a live CD that ships with Razor by default? I wouldn't mind trying it, but not enough to bring a bunch of extra packages into my main install.
 
Cool. Razor-Qt has been kind of buggy, but a good effort (quite a few, "oh, that's neat," little things, when configuring and using it). If they bring their creativity and attention to detail over to LXDE, along with manpower, I think it will be a good thing.
