<pre wrap="">Hello team,
it's time to review and discuss the last section on the Xubuntu Strategy
Document that hasn't been updated during the "modern" Xubuntu times;
Seeds & Composition.
I've attached both the current and the new, proposed version to this
message.
The proposed version has been mostly drafted with Unit193 and has
briefly gone through Sean and Simon.
Time to discuss.
Cheers,
Pasi

I can almost ack that as it is ... <br>
<br>
One point only - I've never bothered to mention previously, but if
we're re-working it then I will now.<br>
<br>
Imagine that there is an application - that would be just be the
best thing since sliced bread, but no-one's bothered about
translations - at all. Only available in English.<br>
<br>
Assuming that all other points are ok.<br>
<br>
Does<br>
<br>
* Localization. Does the application have translations in the most
commonly used languages?<br>
<br>
or the new<br>
<br>
* Localization<br>
<br>
mean that no-one gets the package?<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Neither of this means that we can't include the package.
Localization is probably one of the easiest things to fix as well.
Lowering resource consumption is a completely different beast.<br>
<br>
As the document says, it's an aspect to be considered, not something
that alone is a reason not to include or not include the package.
The big picture of a package is more important than one of the
aspects.<br>
<br>
As an example, consider the Mozilla applications we are shipping;
they aren't exactly the lightest alternatives, but they have other
qualities (usability, usefullness, reliability, localization) that
count for them and ultimately, make them worth seeding and make them
fit the Xubuntu mission statement. It's all about the balance, none
of the areas of focus (defined earlier in the document) is more
important than the other really.<br>
<br>
Do people think that we should explain some of this in the Strategy
Document?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
