Sorry to not respond directly to the running topic, but I only just signed up. I have been looking through the lists. I am quite interested in the idea of a lightweight Trisquel - the existing one never quite caught on with me, but this looks more like my thing. I would assume that the intended result is something along the lines of Crunchbang/Archbang. I personally like that Fluxbox has very easily readable config files, so that would be my recommendation for that reason. I would go on to suggest Vattery as the battery monitor, but I don't know if that is available from the packages. For an editor, I would suggest Medit, which has a strong syntax coloring and other nice features like a pop-up terminal and a file browser on the side. Using something like Leafpad is wrong, IMO - an editor without syntax highlighting is, at best, a notepad. For a terminal, I usually use Xterm, because it is extremely snappy, but I also like Sakura - because it is useful for copying and pasting. It is very much like Xfce's Terminal, but not depending on heavy libraries. For now, it looks like the suggestions have been leaning towards GTK2 applications. So maybe including something like gtk-chtheme for administering the GTK2 theme would be handy. I am personally partial to Gajim because I only use Jabber for IM, but it might of course be practical to include a client which could do more protocols. IRC could be serviced with a link to a terminal and Irssi or Weechat. Now - is this intended mostly to be used as a live system or an installed one? Personally, I think that email clients are pointless on live systems, but if it should be included, I would say Claws is good - if it is themed, it can look nice. I wondered why Audacious didn't come up - is it too heavy on the deps? If Abiword is packages with the plugins, it should be able to handle most files.
