- We really should mention something about accessibility and Section 508 conformance. - I wouldn't limit "instant Messaging" to just Pidgin. - Rather than refer to Rhythmbox, I would just say "competitive with the multimedia solutions available on Linux" - Since we know System Tools are in flux, with VisualPanels, perhaps we should be extra careful we highlight the functions that we consider important to continue to support. - Evolution is another handy email client worth a mention in addition to Thunderbird. >> Common Tasks >> o Read/Write email >> o View/Add/Edit calendar appointments and reminders >> o View/Write/Edit document/spreadsheet/presentation >> o Browse the web >> o Print document >> o Find files/documents/emails etc. >> o Listen to music >> o Transfer photos from camera to disk and vice-versa >> o Catalog/Edit your photos >> o Transfer music from player to disk and vice-versa >> o IM your friends - Watch videos, whether on YouTube or a DVD - Develop software (since we do seem to try and target them as an audience with some of our past releases) - Configure AT programs such as orca, GOK, or magnifier. Maybe not common for everyone, but for everyone who needs to use AT tools.
