I just looked at http://en.opensuse.org/Patterns I don't see much going on there. Does this mean that this is the final proposal?
No, not at all. For alpha3 I just implemented a bit to show what's possible... I hope the discussion starts again - thanks for doing that!
I have added some, that I felt were missing. Even if they are not selected, I hope to keep the discussion going and we can't afford to get it wrong.
The main thing I did was add some graphical enviroments (including CLI) and add office and games. The thing I miss most is 'normal' programs for the end-user.
Also would it not be easier to use the current package groups as a start and then go from there? e.g. when I look at just games, I see:
No, not really - patterns are more roles. The two are orthogonal.
Amusement |--Games | |--3D | | |--Other | | |--Race | | `-- ... | |--Action | | |--Arcade | | `--.... | |--Board | `--... `--Toys |--Background `--...
Seems like an awefull good place to start. This has been made over the years and I would think it to be a pity to just throw the knowledge away. Also realize that many people who use SUSE for years know where to look, so even if it is not going to be the main pattern, it would be nice to have a pattern "Ye Olde S.u.S.E. way" that contained the familiar groups people know.
