I'm in favor of all those points :)

I think we should be looking at our video sequencers. I just got this 
link from zequence:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Policy#Selecting_preinstalled_packages
that states: "No duplication of tools: If two applications do the same 
exact thing, only one of them should be included."

Atm we have 4 video sequencers:
Blender, Kdenliv, Pitivi and openshots.

Blender does quite a lot of things that non of the other 3 does, so it 
is not up for removal. I always got the feeling that kdenlive is a more 
complete and professional VSE than pitivi and openshots. I wanted to 
state that there would be a choice between the 2 basic VSE's that are 
good for beginners: openshots and pitivi, but it seems pitivi has come a 
long way lately. Perhaps that means it would be good to keep openshot 
for beginners, and put our choice between kdelive en pitivi?

Anyone with good experience using pitivi that could/wants to weigh in?
