Clipboard Manager - Time to report it :)

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

to repeat what has been said..... Following on from a release, and the two
weeks of sub-release activity, the discussions start on the next release.
For those who have been around for a while, it is a normal cycle of emails
on the subject, per application, of what is in / replaced / discarded.
For those new, please get on and get others onto the mailing list ready for
the discussion at the early stages of 12.10. These discussions are done via
email with a simple +1 / 0 / -1 vote from each person. Once we have decided
upon what we want - we can get told to then remove all the stuff that is
not essential as we have exceeded the specification of computer required to
run Lubuntu. This then would start a 2nd round of voting. Eventually, we
have a list of applications that will keep *most* of the people happy
*most*of the time[1].
Do not forget, that with Lubuntu Software Centre - any one, even a complete
beginner, can add extra bits to their system. It is for the reason of
making a more friendly face to synaptics package manager that Stephen
Smally has done such a fantastic job of getting Lubuntu a software centre
that does not take us out of the specification that lubuntu must run on.

The discussions of what is in / out etc are a vital part. To repeat what I
state at that time:
For an application to be considered for inclusion into lubuntu it must
fulfil the following criteria:

1) Use no system memory.
2) Take up no space on the hard-drive (which includes the build CD)
3) Use no processing cycles from the CPU to run.

Other than those 3 basic rules, we are very flexible in the addition of
applications :P

Julien normally kicks off the requests shortly after each release. I'm sure
the wiki team would be delighted to set one up so that people can see
*how*we do this.

Also do not forget, after the application 'beauty contest', there is also
the art-work one where the art-team suggest some themes and then we choose
the one that they work on as the default.

Regards,

Phill.

[1] Which is roughly 95% of the people, 95% of the time. You will NEVER
please all the people all of the time - get used to it :D And, no, the
marketing guy who told me that many years ago refused to go the record. If,
however you'd like to see what happens when far less than 1% of the people
create a massive amount of commenting ... take a read of
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16808941 And then the 661 comments!
