I'm willing to maintain this package. Anyone have suggestions for
things that should be included? Here's my list:
gnome-utils
gnome-games
evolution
sawfish-gnome
gnumeric
gnucash
gedit
nautilus
mrproject
gimp
pan
galeon
gftp
xchat-gnome
balsa
gnome-admin
Maybe:
gnome-pim
gnome-net
And I know there are some more games and apps that should probably be
included.
Also i'm probably forgetting some of the required apps for the panel
and applets.
So anyone else want to add/subtract?
Jim
