Heya. Beryl - merged with compiz whole games section - might should be moved to a games repo, maintained by TUs gtk-gnutella - i don't see the point using a specific gnutella client if a lot of other programs handle multiple protocols fine. KOffice - rarely used compared to OpenOffice Minimize kernel patchsets supported by [extra] Networkmanager - too unstable anyway Openbox or fluxbox - the difference is minimal anyway Perl modules which are not base of some program / script tkcvs - anyone still using this tool? xmms + addins - should not be that heavily used anymore remove web-based tools (as phpbb). I think they can also be downloaded / unzipped by every guy himself. Remove gaim (pigdin is already in) bittornado (in favor of deluge, ktorrent)
Hmh, that's what i've found. A bit less as it seems. Generally, software like bittorrent clients and so on can be moved down to [community] in my eyes.
