It should be aimed at two targets: Aging computers and netbooks.
For a desktop environment, I think LXDE is the best choice because it has a
great balance of features, customization, and performance. Xfce is too
heavyweight in comparison. Fluxbox is only a window manager without
additional packages, and to change any settings you have to manually edit
text files.
The following packages are already included in LXDE:
PCMan File Manager
LXLauncher, easy-mode application launcher
LXPanel, desktop panel
LXSession, session manager
LXAppearance, theme switcher
leafpad, text editor
Xarchiver, archiving
GPicView, image viewer
LXMusic, an xmms2 client, audio player
LXTerminal, terminal emulator
LXTask, task manager
LXDM, X display manager
LXNM, lightweight network connection helper daemon for LXDE supporting
wireless connections (GNU/Linux-only)
Openbox, window manager
Package suggestions:
-wicd
-Abiword
-Midori browser
-XMMS2 music player
-Abiword
-MTPaint
-Xpdf
-Xchat
-Sylpheed email client
-Dictionary reader
-Gnumeric spreadsheet
-Bitstorm Lite (for bittorrent files)
-SIM-IM
-Twinkle VoIP app
-Xfburn CD/DVD burning
I don't know of a suitable lightweight video player replacement in our repos.
We may have to stick with Totem, even though it's not a lightweight app...
If the team needs art for Trisquel-Mini (logo, background, login, etc.) just
say the word. Making documentation and art for this distro is something I
genuinely enjoy. :)
