It was probably me. Frankly, I think we definitely don't need Scribus or 
especially Blender. GIMP and Inkscape are useful for modifying LilyPond 
output, and they're pretty small (Inkscape especially).

I'm also willing to say we don't really need LaTeX because:
1.) I highly doubt there are a large number of people who aren't me but would 
still like to use Fedora Jam for writing academic music papers with LilyPond 
and LaTeX.
2.) Even I don't use the distribution-provided LaTeX because it's quite old.

Yes, KMail and the Kontact suite. If default Fedora has a default of 
something, and "something" isn't an audio-specific thing, I feel we shouldn't 
change it. Let's waste our time on audio-specific things because, at the end of 
the day, nobody (reasonable) will avoid Fedora Jam *just because* we use the 
default Fedora browser instead of the default KDE browser.
