This is fairly subjective. I personally think we should only be |
| 6 |
mentioning the major DE's (GNOME,KDE & maybe XFCE) as complete |
| 7 |
solutions. The aim should be to inform of what is useful to a big |
| 8 |
majority, not to cover everything out there. |

And make it even more of an information overloaded document ? Again it |
| 18 |
should cover the basics. Individual applications should not need to be |
| 19 |
described, they usually need no additional configuration (the ones you |
| 20 |
mention here shouldn't at least) and are fairly straightforward anyway. |
| 21 |
Besides that they usually come with some form of GUI help, a more |
| 22 |
important task i think would be to make the available help consistently |
| 23 |
accessible (like Yelp tries to do in gnome). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A list of suggestions in the spirit of 'well you got your basic desktop |
| 26 |
now, check these out if you want more' i could live with. But this would |
| 27 |
again be a subjective list and probably quickly out of date. |
