Default Apps: gnome-music and gnome-photos

There are two core GNOME apps that we do not currently ship: - Photos (we have Shotwell instead) - Music (we have Rhythmbox instead). Based on in-person discussions it seems likely we will continue to ship our existing apps for the immediate future because: - These apps rely on Tracker, which has

Default App: GNOME Contacts

gnome-contacts is an address book and is part of the core GNOME apps. It has all dependencies in main except for folks (which used to be in main). While this seems to work well in managing your e-d-s based contacts, I'm not sure if there's a particular use for it in Ubuntu. Address book

Default App: GNOME Characters

gnome-characters is a character browser and is part of the core GNOME apps. All its dependencies are in main. It replaces the older gucharmap that we continue to ship. gnome-characters has a GUI that fits in with the GNOME style, while gucharmap has an old fashioned interface. I found it simpler

Default App: GNOME To Do

[Oneiric-Topic] Packaging branches

We currently maintain most Ubuntu Desktop packages in bzr branches and use bzr-builddeb in merge mode [1] with packaging stored in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/package_name/ubuntu. The other option was to use normal mode [2], but this was not chosen at the time due to the size of checkouts. My experience
