Xubuntu 18.04 default panel location - where should it go?

[Aaron Franke]

Hello xubuntu-devel members,

Unfortunately I was not able to make the Fri, October 27 as 22:00 UTC meeting that was held recently. However, I would still like to propose something.
For the purpose of making it easier for Windows, Mint Cinnamon, Lubuntu, and other users to transition to Xubuntu, I propose changing the default location of the panel to the bottom of the screen.
People who prefer it at the top of the screen can simply move it back there. The default location mostly affects new users, so it should cater to them first. I'm sure there are also non-newbies who prefer the bottom of the screen.

I have created a poll to see what everyone's opinions are: http://www.strawpoll.me/14263444 There are options for top, bottom, side, or don't care. All are useful results, I encourage you to vote. This link will only be sent to the xubuntu-devel mailing list.

I don't expect that the poll results will be the final decision, but it will probably help decide where the panel's default location should be. I'm also not sure if polls are allowed in these mailing lists, I joined the xubuntu-devel list a month earlier to see what type of content was allowed and I didn't see any polls or anything. I apologize in advance if it's not allowed. 

Thanks for your consideration,
Aaron Franke, a Xubuntu user
