Hi all,
I think most of the things I was hoping to get done for F42 are complete:
* The updated screenshot is now live! https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce
* While Abiword is technically in F42, it seemed like a better idea (and
a good time) to just switch to libreoffice-writer/calc. Sorry for the
back and forth on this; it seemed a bit easier/more consistent to just
go with programs that are already maintained well in Fedora rather than
redoing all the work for Abiword's new upstream (I'm not a package
maintainer anyway). The switch for F42+ was done here:
https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/1086#
* * I've also updated the https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce page with
the libreoffice changes and some minor edits to improve consistency
between the spins, but those wont go live until F42 is released:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/websites-apps/fedora-websites/cms/fedoraproject.org/-/merge_requests/96
* Wiki additions are done
* * I've added a section for testing Wayland here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xfce#Testing_Wayland.
* * The details about the LiveCD and its creation have also been
updated: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Xfce/XfceLive
Thanks everyone for your help! Looking forward to F42 :)

Hi all,
Small update:
* I've submitted the new screenshot to the CMS, needs to be
approved/published I suppose:
https://fedora.gitlab.io/websites-apps/fedora-websites/cms/fedoraproject.org/admin/#/workflow
* RE the writer; turns out abiword is in F42 and is still being
maintained here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/AbiWord. I've
submitted a request to have it re-added to the xfce-office group here:
https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/1081#
* I'll work on more wiki additions, but anyone else is more than
welcomed to as well :) Here are two additions I think we can add:
* * How to test Wayland (from starting with a fresh install onward):
https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap#testing
* * Details on how the Live CD is created with Kiwi. I haven't figured
out exactly how that is all done, but this seems like a good spot to
start https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/KiwiBuiltCloudImages
Thanks to Kevin for the help, and for your suggestion Benyamin! I had
no idea the whisker menu developer had made something like that! I'm
not trying to be biased towards Abiword (though I personally like the
speed/simplicity of abiword), it just seems like the path of least
resistance to get back a writer, so I'm happy to support whatever
people feel like is best!
Thanks for all your help and thoughts!

Or probably focus writer from the developer of whisker menu of xfce?
I think now days office is big tbh..
As gnome doesn't have office, and xfce does not build one. 😂
I do agree Libreoffice is too big in an ISO for xfce. 😂

Hello all.
Just curious to ask, will you all consider move using markdown
editor like Marker instead of abiword format documents?
Or it's not good migration path for xfce spins?

Awesome. Thanks for taking that on.

This can be done via
https://gitlab.com/fedora/websites-apps/fedora-websites/fedora-websites-3.0/
ask in #websites:fedoraproject.org <http://fedoraproject.org>
for help.

Yeah, we have resisted including libreoffice due to it's
large size, but
we could just do that. :(

Might replace the yum calls to dnf?
and add a bit about testing on wayland in 4.20?

Yeah, Xfce has actually already moved to kiwi also. ;)
