This is true to a degree at DO though these changes to language and positioning aren't quite so large to require everything you listed. We rolled out the copy change a few minutes ago to change "Notifications" to "Email

This is great. Our teams here at DO took a look at the changes you implemented in the extension and while there is a process to things and we're looking at the other changes you implemented, the idea to change "Notifications&quot

It's absolutely possible but just a matter of available time/resources to support additional architectures. Prior to the latest release it was x86 only. The components of the desktop environment are fully portable since a lot of

It is a coincidence. SymphonyOS pre-dates the Symfony framework by almost a year. There are several projects out there in different spaces that are named Symphony

Unfortunately SymphonyOS is a one-person project right now and has been for a long time. My focus has been on the codebase and the website which I will admit is crap was put together in one evening. Currently I am in the middle of a compl

I am the sole developer/maintainer of SymphonyOS these days and it showing up on HN today is a bit of a suprise since it's been several months since a public release. Development is progressing albeit slowly since my day job takes
