Thats your point of view - and I agree with you. But as we can see on other distributions, the "overflow" of available applications overburdens the "normal" user. I like that idea of having: - one "mini-CD" for network installation - containing just a base system. - one CD for a default KDE and one CD for a default Gnome-System. For me this seems currently to be the biggest part of work, because of all the dependencies. And I think we should review the current pattern files to see if they contain unneeded applications. - one DVD5 (or DVD9) for the "advanced users" that like the distribution "as is". If a user adds the official openSUSE repository, he can get more applications - and even patterns. ...and if someone likes to help in the buildservice, we can add patterns there, too.

It might be good to analyze software piece by piece, that might benefit discusion to move from opinions to facts, and help both desktops to look better and be more functional.
But, who is going to start? We can't get one man to make a list of educational software that should be reviewed, which is smaller task than all of the openSUSE.
BTW: http://software.opensuse.org/download/Education:/desktop/openSUSE_Factory/i5... => the first package containing Desktop patterns is already there. (Please don't install this package, this is just a "meta-Package".) I think we have something like a "chicken or the egg problem" here: without any examples we can't reach the normal user. Without reaching the normal user, we can't get a "cool solution"... ;-)
The tool is there - openSUSE wiki, we just have to find the way to use it.
