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 not been considered to work well in Ubuntu (at least in the past?). - The currently shipping apps work well and have more functionality. Advantages to switching: - The new apps fit better in with the GNOME style. - They may have more developer focus in the future (Rhythmbox and Shotwell may become less maintained). My reading is most people are of the opinion we won't switch at this time, but will re-assess at each Ubuntu release if things have changed. What do others think? Is there anything we can add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DefaultApps about why these are not shipping by default? --Robert
