I think I mentioned on the wiki, but could you add a changelog and
version to the comments of the ks file? Would be handy to see whats
changed and when.

I guess maintaining the kickstart in a repository makes sense for this. Everybody else seems to be committing directly to livecd-tools repository. Jeremy Katz's in his spin proposal outlined a different location. Jeremy, what do you think we should do now?

As you can see, Xfce now inherits the same default background as
GNOME and KDE and uses the Mist icon set which is also the default
in GNOME currently. The hard dependency on xfce-icon-theme from
xfce4-panel and Thunar has been dropped in rawhide. I believe we
are supposed to be getting the Nodoka theme but that doesn't appear
to be the case yet.

Odd. It should be the default. I will do some looking.

More specifically, the user interface settings show Nodoka but I suspect that only manages the color scheme. The window manager settings don't show Nodoka as a option.


There has been some discussions about the
default panel layout and there is a lot of different possibilities
including a GNOME like layout but we are likely to go ahead with
some changes by including the trash, mixer applet in the default
top panel. If there is a preference for a specific layout, let us
know what (include screenshots preferably) and explain why.

Yes indeed. Feedback very welcome!

What I would personally prefer is a two panel layout with the applications menu and places menu on top, trash and mixer applets on the top right and no icons on the desktop or icons with transparent borders. The last two customizations can be done by following the steps outlined in

http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfdesktop/branches/xfce_4_4/README

Note that Xfce displays the floppy icon even when the system doesn't have a floppy drive. That should be fixed anyway.

Another issue, for adding back the language packs, where translations are complete, the upstream web interface isn't very useful since it provides per module status and not overall status

http://i18n.xfce.org/stats/

Fedora status covers only Fedora specific components at

http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/

What I would want is to see a overall view of percentage of translations including the Fedora specific components related to Xfce.
