Starting point for package list for Fedora 7 Desktop spin

[Steven Garrity]

A few quite thoughts on the <Office> category:

As a default, I'd like to see *either* OpenOffice.org, or the equivalent 
Gnome apps (Abiword, Gnumeric, etc). Since the OpenDocument format is 
doing so well, I'd like to see Fedora (as a prominent) distribution have 
strong support for it. Hence, I think OpenOffice.org is the best choice 
(for now).

FontForge - I would suggest that we don't need an "outline font editor" 
by default. I work as a professional designer and I've never used 
font-editing software.

Gobby - It's very cool, but it is another text editor (albeit one with a 
significant twist). I think collaborative editing would be worth 
included as plugins to Gedit or AbiWord, but I'm not sure it justifies 
another text editor.

Also, I'd suggest Rhythmbox as the choice of music player - it's solid 
and has been improving a lot in recent releases.

Cheers,
Steven Garrity
