I think i agree for almost what i said, but i would remind you some stuff : as a scientist, i use specific applications whch are not very useful in day-to-day usage (xmgrace, pybliographic, xdrawchem), so they will not collect enough votes. But these are mandatory for me and some others ... I think these applications should stay in the downloadable isos. For day-to-day applications, i think it could be a great idea to have two applications for each task (may be one for kde, the other for gnome). Other applications could be available via Mandrake Club if desired. It could be a good way to enrich the club's lack of attract (except for charity reasons) : here is a good way to improve the Club's attracting value.
