[opensuse-gnome] gdesklets
Hey Guys , What chance is there that opensuse would become the hosts for and takeover the gdesklets project. Including the SideCandy group as an included option would really be sweet . It would be something that other gnome distro would be missing and those users would be looking at openSuSE and saying mmmmm even more polish. Just a thought. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

If you're talking maintaining it, the chances are low.

If you mean here packaging this stuff, its a good possibility.
BTW, we should take more about what packages to get into opensuse proper
from the education project now - its a good time to capture that.

James, I wanted to step in a bit and ask if you're aware of screenlets as well. I, and some others, recently experimented with both gdesklets and screenlets, and it appears to me screenlets is far more functional, supported by the community, and attractive than gdesklets. gdesklets simply seemed buggy and didn't want to work for me.

Bryen, Thank you for the tip about "screenlets" they are indeed as nice as desklets and there are many more available, this would indeed be a really cool default app for gnome.

JP, I am unsure what it is you are asking of us. The idea that the main distribution host packages needed only to support the education add-on is a new concept to me. If you mean that the full repository from education-opensuse.org be moved , I am not the one to answer that. Lars has been working with the software packages keeping them in order so that they load on the current distributions. It is my understanding that the next phase include "patterns" that are desktop specific and when the yast module is complete the repo will configure age specific desktops as well. We could use help with this, specifically going through the repo and finding packages that need modification to run under gnome and defining that pattern. I am currently running 11 w\gnome and the edu repo , it loaded a huge amount of wonderful packages. lots of KDE specific packages loaded and don't run.
