No, it's not.
The LXQt spin will be released when be ready.
Mayby next month with all the sparky spins http://sparkylinux.org/whats-up-sparky/ or later, don't know yet.

I have added users wiki on the 'to do' list and updated relase day of 4.0

Great! I'm waiting for 4.0 final version to test Sparky and maybe use it as my main distro from now on... Hopefully there will be a JWM version on release day.

Thank you for your hard work!

Point #3 should be marked as done if we're good with the EFI32 support (and I think we're good). Maybe we should just move the "done" points to the dev-wiki, leave the "to do" points here (and also add them to the dev-wiki, but leave them here also for quick reference) and add a link to it?

The #3 changed to done.
It's good idea to move the list to dev-wiki having it in one place.

Two Questions:

1.- When can I expect a version 4 of the Sparky Openbox Edition?

and

2.- How would the LXQt Edition run with the Xfce4-panel and some of it's widgets?

Thanks in advance.

1. I hope it'll be ready next week.
2. Add xfce4-panel to LXQt startup : LXQt Settings-> Session Manager-> Autostart

Thanks Pavroo

I take it that means that no incompatibility exists. Both LXQt and Xfce are modular in nature.

Honestly I never tried to use a panel from one desktop to another.
There is only one way to find out...

They're just different programs. Most probably one can run aside another without problems. :)

You have a old computer but it is technologically new enough so you can try any Sparkylinux iso with no problems whatsoever.
