Thanks for working on this, Javier; I think our modulesets are much better now. I posted a follow-up patch for the metamodules here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760698 Now, according to the proposed definitions of the modulesets, gnome- suites-core consists of the "modules which form part of an official release," and gnome-apps the apps that "do not form part of the default experience." I think we should compare our apps with what prominent distributors are shipping, as a sanity check to see what would be added and removed were downstreams to follow our modulesets. For Fedora Workstation, we have been discussing shipping a reduced set of default apps, based on gnome-core (with a few exceptions), so this is of practical significance. Apps in Workstation, but not gnome-core: bijiben evolution gedit gnome-boxes gnome-clocks gnome-color-manager gnome-documents (but not gnome-books) gnome-maps gnome-weather rhythmbox seahorse shotwell vinagre Apps in gnome-core, but not Workstation: empathy epiphany gnome-logs I think Empathy should be removed from core unless a new maintainer surfaces. Epiphany is under active development. We should probably add Logs downstream. Now, the design team has a page with designs for GNOME core apps here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps It is much more expansive than what we have currently. Ignoring apps that don't exist yet, it includes the following which we do not have in core: gnome-documents (and gnome-books) gnome-photos gnome-music gnome-clocks gnome-maps gnome-weather gnome-calendar bijiben gnome-dictionary It also includes Mail and Chat, but the designs are so far from Evolution and Empathy that it's quite up for debate whether or not we should include those apps until replacements exist. I'm curious to know your opinions on this (and Allan's in particular). The design team list omits: evince eog gnome-font-viewer I would like to implement the proposal from the design team. Some specific thoughts: * It's not lost on me that we just removed Dictionary from core. I thought this would be uncontroversial; Allan, was this a mistake? Should we put it back? * I will consult Richard to see if Color Manager is still needed by gnome-control-center. If so, we need to move it to core. It has a NotShowIn=GNOME desktop file, so this should be uncontroversial, but it is showing up in GNOME Software as an app, which needs to be fixed. * I will consult with the gedit developers regarding de-branding the desktop file, as I think gedit should be in core. I do notice that gedit is conspicuously missing from the design page, but I think it is too important to omit. * Lastly, Cheese. Cheese is currently in core; it's needed by gnome-initial-setup, gnome-contacts, and gnome-control-center. On the design page it is explicitly marked as non-core, but if that is the case then we would need to remove the webcam integration from these three apps. Allan, was this an oversight? Should rename this to Webcam or Photo Booth and keep it in core? If so, I will talk to David.
