Well, yes, but ... devuan would like TDE, but TDE would have to be build within the devuan duild infrastructure. I thought, well, no big deal, fetch the git repo, push it to devuan build server and we'r done. Not so easy, as it turned out. Keeping the two repos in sync and mantain a seperate patchset for devuan cosmetics is challanging, at least for me.

There should at least be more screenshots in the screenshot section and a way to download themes, styles etc. tcontrol links to "themes.kde.org", but there are no TDE/KDE3 compatible themes any more, so a themes-section on the tde main site beside the "screenshots" would be a nice thing to have.
