Gwibber by default?
by Bastien Nocera
Heya,
I'd like to add Gwibber to the LiveCD, and default install. What do
people think? Is there a better client available for GNOME? Do we have
room for it?
Cheers

Accounts dialog - help
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
accounts-dialog doesn't have a help button and I don't understand the
difference between different types of accounts - administrator,
standard and supervised. Can we add a tooltip and a help button to help
guide users on what these actually mean?

RE: A proposal for the thesaurus
by Hristo Petkov
Hi,
I have a proposal for the Aiksaurus to be replaced with KThesaurus with its GUI on the Desktop.
Honestly speaking with the present databases both of them are useless, but the KThesaurus GUI has better representation screen and allows to make custom made databases.

Generally you should post attachments like this to your
fedorapeople.org space (or some other web-accessible location), and
put the URL in your email. Some people will have a hard time with the
attachments, and others with the mail bloat, otherwise.

Ah, and I see what's happening on my system and why it's different
now. I have gnome-user-docs and gnome-devel-docs, for instance,
installed on my system, so it looks different:
[paul@scarlett ~]$ rpm -qa yelp fedora-release-notes gnome\*docs\*
yelp-2.28.1-1.fc12.x86_64
gnome-devel-docs-2.28.0-1.fc12.noarch
fedora-release-notes-12.0.2-1.fc12.noarch
gnome-user-docs-2.28.0-1.fc12.noarch
The result:
http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/temp/desktop-yelp-f12.png
That's why I was so surprised to hear about this "default" listing!
Perhaps gnome-user-docs was removed from the default Desktop Live CD
in a previous release, for space reasons. With the new, larger
Desktop Live image, I'm hoping that's no longer the case.

That makes sense, yes. I think it'd be good to at least have an
explicit "server stuff" group. I wanted to call it
@traditional-unix-server for stuff like smartmontools and iscsi, but
other naming suggestions welcomed.

Desktop beat on FWN
by Paul W. Frields
Colin Walters and I met while I was in Westford (several times, thanks
Colin!), and one of the items we discussed was finding some ways to
better spread news about Desktop work and happenings. The existing
Fedora Weekly News seemed to both of us to be a good place for this.
Is there anyone on this list who is interested in taking up a weekly
beat for Desktop for FWN? The total time needed to do this is
probably no more than an hour or so a week to summarize important
discussions and news, and write it into the wiki (later, the input
would go into our content management system, which promises to be at
least as easy).
