There are some useful things in there; I am never sure about the real value of adding extensions which still have to be manually enabled to the default install; it does ease discovery some. I suspect a lot of people who want to use extensions will use iceweasel though. > * gnome-office (abiword, gimp, gnumeric, xsane, inkscape, > planner) : the main problem with this one is that we get to ship > two word processors and two spreadsheets.

I think it's bad enough we install two browsers and we should avoid two office suites. Note that xsane and inkscape are already included in the gnome-desktop task; gimp is in the desktop task. > * gnome-accessibility (at-spi, dasher, gnome-mag, gok, gnome-orca, > mousetweaks, gnome-accessibility-themes) : I think it’s better > to have this by default, but the size impact is not negligible. It is in fact already included in the gnome-desktop task. You may also want to pick at this list from the task: # The complete gnome environment, with selected extras. # TODO: Everything in list below should be moved to its Depends/Recommends. gnome # add gnome support for iceweasel, which is pulled in via the main desktop task iceweasel-gnome-support # use rarian-compat instead of scrollkeeper rarian-compat # May not get installed unless forced, if some other browser satisfies the # dependency, so force it. epiphany-browser # GNOME support in OOo openoffice.org-gnome openoffice.org-evolution # support for scanners xsane # vector drawing inkscape # accessibility support gnome-accessibility -- see shy jo
