Currently, the philosophy for accepting multimedia packages to be included in our default installation is that we don't already have a better package for the workflow it covers. There may be some cases where there are two applications that can do the same exact things, but where one is for newbies and the other for pros, which is motive enough to include both. There may even be cases where both do the same exact thing - which would be against our original philosophy.
We've tried to define workflows, but haven't really got very far with this. There are some resources at our wiki on that. Simply put, a workflow is things like: audio editing (Audacity) multitrack recording (Ardour) mixing (Ardour) image manipulation (GIMP) vector graphics (Inkscape) etc.. This is an area where we definitely could use having more people involved. The few of us tend not to have time to do this task properly. We don't have any specific package selection process. Since there are so few developers involved, we tend to just talk it through between the few of us on our irc channel. So, this is something that could be worked at. How should we go about choosing packages for our default install? -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
