What's still missing is a slogan for the spin.

We could try not include all of these and limit ourselves to the most important (not necessarily most known) applications. However, providing additional groups of packages through a comps group or the PackageKit browser plugin would still work (the latter one might be an interesting way to explore, btw). Anyway, I guess some of those decisions are probably also a matter of taste.

That makes some sense, too. We could probably exclude them from the list, right. I don't think it'd cause any irritations, since you'd certainly expect a browser. >> Remaining questions are for example how to deal with brushes - whether >> we want them included and whether there's a reasonable way to package >> them.

I'm certainly fine with that either and will leave it up to the team (which means if nobody steps up, we'll just ship a non-customized design). :) --Sebastian _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
