I like the "Batteries included" section. Maybe we could re-purpose the page to be about the "builtin" GNOME applications instead? A little section about the various builtin applications would be less likely to get out of date, and allow us to show our stock apps (weather, clocks, videos, photos, etc.). _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
