I've done a little testing on the ISO size - see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Fedora_jam#Size_reductions_-_some_philosophy_and_research Other than Calligra and the games, I don't know what else we could take out. KDE supplies Konqueror, so in *theory* we could ditch Firefox and Thunderbird. But I've found a few things that don't work in Konqueror, so we might get yelled at if we dropped Firefox. I wish we had Chromium; the web audio stuff is cutting edge.
