Those are the ones I'd personally put up for discussion, but of course we can extend this.<br>> <br>> There are some specs I've written a long time ago for the default mail client (at that time it was thunderbird vs. claws), you can find them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Specifications/Karmic/DefaultMailClient<br>> <br>> In general I've found the wiki-approach semi-helpful. It's good to structure the pros and cons of an app like this, but it's not exactly a discussion starter. If any of you have time/energy to do one of these application comparisons for Natty, that would be really great. (I'm currently too busy with artwork to be able to devote the extra time.)<br>> <br>> So for browsers I'd say it's Firefox vs. Midori and Chromium.<br>> For Email apps it's Thunderbird vs. Claws-mail (again).<br>> The selection of music players is pretty large nowadays, not sure what to suggest here.<br>> <br>> Ok, this should be enough to get some discussion going.<br>> All the best<br>> Simon<br>> <br>> -- <br>> xubuntu-devel mailing list<br>> xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com<br>> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel<br></div> </body> </html>
