How about Pidgin? Running several chat like Viber, IMO, and other WebRTC
would be nice to integrate in the desktop. Shame that Empathy
development is inactive. Hopefully someone will step up to maintain it
upstream.

Design Suite currently set  GNOME Photos as default for the future F24.
However, the main concern on the roadmap is import from cameras and SD
card set for Gnome 3.22 according to the roadmap[1]. Debarshi showed a
mockup sorting the import by date-time similar to Google Photos and in
some extent Apple Photos.


gThumb could be an alternative but the lack of non-destructive editing
is a stopping point.

The issue with GNOME Music is import from CD which still remains one of
popular media.  Still more work to do according to the roadmap[2].
