OK, I've slapped down a quick-n-dirty laundry list of items off the top of my head to get started on the F7 KDE spin: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFedoraKDE Folks are welcome to contribute, criticize, add-to. -- Rex
I hope you don't mind if I be a bit verbose: * Browser: konqueror Cool. I kinda like the fact that there is no Flash support for Konqueror. I use Seamonkey for my heavy browsing myself. * Irc: konversation Recently switched to this from Chatzilla, I love how well it works * IM: kopete Great application. Good choice. * office: koffice I going to assume that the filters will be part of the spin. If so, good choice. * PDF: KPDF No real preference or dispute here * audio(most): amarok I'm going to assume that the xine engine will also be installed? * Media Burner: K3b Why exactly is K3B under the multimedia section? Burning MP3/Audio CDs is only half of what it could do. * System Cleanup: kleansweep Never heard of it. Will Google eventually * Project management and groupware: Task Juggler * Home user backup? While I am _still_ (I am loosing a lot of time) working on system-config-backup for Fedora. It seems that the KDE way would be http://konserve.sourceforge.net/ Bellow here I would like to put forth other suggests, based on applications currently in use on my desktop * Organizer and Email: Kontact * Photo organisation: Digikam * Photo Editing: Krita (incase not considered as part of KOffice) I would also like to put forward a request that a verbose, clearly worded document on rolling Fedora compatible RPMSs be produced and well publicized. I have attempted several times to read through, and follow accordingly the existing available documents on the topic. I have also received recommendations to read other .spec files. For what ever reason (I have near ruled out my own laziness) I find following the tutorial towards an end to be difficult. I say this (instead of starting a new thread) as I would like to actively start rolling packages that are KDE centric....with mind to Fedora compatible items from kde-look.org. Lastly, I would like to suggest, if the Gtk-QT engine is used, that some exclusion be made for the system-config tools. I think there are multiple benefits in have the system-config tools look different from the persons desktop applications AND yet "universally" alike. Good luck with the KDE spin. Anything towards having me not have to `rpm -e gdm` post Fedora install has my blessings.
