Apparently many people love that we ship Gimp as default, even if it is advanced. (Also, many became angry with the Ubuntu move to Shotwell.) Making most of the people happy with our default application choices shouldn't be the main concern here naturally, but on the other hand, we are still building the distribution for the people, and if 90% them starts to cry if we don't ship Gimp in the default set... Then maybe we should just keep it. <br> <br> I've never used any of the other, so I don't really know how advanced/limited those are, but I think that is the main point here. If they are about right on the features for the average users, I think they could be seriously thought as alternatives for the default image editing software. If the features in those are too advanced as well, I think we need to start doing benchmarks and see if there is a notable performance difference between Gimp and the others.<br> <blockquote cite="mid:DUB106-w36DA48B5CE993C95163614C19A0@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <div><br> </div> <div>-Replace Vinagre with Remmina</div> <div>Remmina is smaller and supports more protocols. :)</div> </blockquote> I will try Remmina in the following days and post you some thoughts (if I remember to do that :P).<br> <blockquote cite="mid:DUB106-w36DA48B5CE993C95163614C19A0@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <div><br> </div> <div>-Replace Gcalctool with Galculator</div> <div>Galculator is 1 mb smaller and they are both easy to use.</div> </blockquote> Okay for me.<br> <blockquote cite="mid:DUB106-w36DA48B5CE993C95163614C19A0@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <div><br> </div> <div>I hope you guys like my ideas and share yours as well. :)</div> <div><br> </div> <div>-Glenn<br> <br> > Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:31:41 -0600<br> > From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cjk@teamcharliesangels.com">cjk@teamcharliesangels.com</a><br> > To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> > Subject: Ideas for Xubuntu Oneiric Ocelot<br> > <br> > In the interests of getting us going with the development of Xubuntu<br> > Oneiric, I am giving a list of some goals we should consider.
