<p>The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems
with a primary goal of retaining the function and form of traditional desktop computers.</p>
<h2>Project Goals</h2>
<P>We seek to provide a traditional desktop environment which is . . .
<ul>
<li>Flexible and highly customizable.</li>
<li>Visually appealing.</li>
<li>Equipped with a suitable collection of desktop effects that remain compatible with older hardware.</li>
<li>Responsive on older hardware, while also being compatible with newer hardware.</li>
<li>Compatible with, but not requiring, 3D acceleration.</li>
<li>Compatible with <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/">freedesktop.org</a> and
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard">Linux file system hierarchy</a>
standards.</li>
<li>Compatible with other desktop environments.</li>
<li>Capable of offering maximal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_interaction">HCI
(Human-Computer Interaction)</a> efficiency in a mouse/keyboard environment.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Major Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Traditional panel, task bar, task manager, quick launch.</li>
<li>A repository of TDE compatible software applications, including several text editors, a file manager,
image viewers, office apps, an archive manager, and the original and improved classic Amarok music player.
<A HREF="applications.php">Full list of applications</A></li>
<li>Optional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key">Secure Attention
Key</a> to further secure the login and desktop lock dialogs.</li>
<li>A TDE-specific DBUS notification client for improved integration with
common applications such as Firefox and NetworkManager (with no need for HAL).</li>
<li>Plus much more! <A HREF="features.php">Full list of features</A>
</ul>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>The TDE project began as a continuation of the K Desktop Environment (KDE)
version 3. The name Trinity was chosen partly because the word means "three" and TDE
was a continuation of KDE 3. TDE now is its own computer desktop environment
project.</p>
<p>The TDE project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson. Timothy
is an experienced and skilled software developer and was the KDE 3.x coordinator
of previous Kubuntu releases.</p>
