1 Well, I think first.. a policy should be that all devs who send mails on

6 Main Goal in my mind, should be research on the various positive aspects
7 of other distros (integration, configuration, various others) and
8 attempt at recommending ways to improve those, and incorporate them into

10
11 Usual Desktop Research Task:
12 1. Research (Self Explanatory)
13 2. Evaluation (Discussion, of the topic, or research)
14 3. Recommendation (Recommended course of action)
15 4. Proposal (The actual paper outlining the above, to be sent to the
16 appropriate personnel)

18 What is meant by "find some global different directions of research"?
