Makes sense Rick, I agree with that. Hmmm maybe for lucid+1 we might be
able to detect if they have installed development tools before and
suggest some in featured applications.

Shane, good thought, but I don't think any developer tools are
interesting for featured applications. The Featured section is not
geared to a developer user, so I think we should just pull out Eclipse
and leave it at that.

Im going to go out on the limb and suggest we replace it with
Monodevelop it supports mono,java,python,valaetc although require
the user to i
I've opened a bug to request the following changes:
- Remove Eclipse
- Huge download
- Only supports Java out of the box
- The Eclipse brand is strong enough that it doesn't need promoting
- Replace chromium-bsu with tumiki-fighters
- chromium has poor performance on non-3D accelerated

Nexuiz is dying upstream from what I hear so I wouldnt feature it
myself. The development team had a big split recently and a lot of the
developers are making forks of it. So id say Open Arena would be a lot
more suitable long term.
Id love to get a rating

Hello,
I think that not including Battle for Wesnoth would be a shame. This
is a very complete game with a lot of available content and it is
translated into many languages and you can even download extra
scenarios! Moreover, Wesnoth starts with a tutorial game that explains
the basics of the game
If a KDE app works great on Ubuntu and meets the goals and guidelines
laid out, then it is fine to include. However, for Lucid, "Featured"
will focus on Ubuntu, and not Kubuntu or other *buntus. We should
discuss at UDS if there is some way to extend the notion to Kubuntu,
Edubuntu, etc...
Cheers,
That raises a good point - should the list be the same in Ubuntu and
Kubuntu? Note that the list is stored in the software-center package
and could be different for each distribution.
KDE applications have not been excluded but it is worth noticing the
installation and integration experience i
* I recommend Marble, a desktop globe that is part of KDE's Education
Project. There is a basic offline map, but the online OpenStreetMap
map view is especially cool.
It is worth mentioning that the Software Center is installed by
default for Kubuntu also, so there is no need to exclude KDE best-o

Quick question, for applications that make the featured apps list, do
they need to get promoted to main?

I have installed all the featured applications
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Lucid/FeaturedApps) and reviewed
them for user experience.
The criteria from the specification are:
* Is available in main or universe
* Is a GUI app
* Does not replace a default application
* Does
