I created an etherpad containing TDE application
descriptions. I extracted much of the information from Helpbook abstracts and then massaged the information accordingly. The extraction process was not fluid or easy to read, even after cleanup. I suspect a few apps are missing from the list.
The descriptions are more or less grouped the same as
the T-Menu.
Everybody please feel free to edit the list as
needed.
Tim, Calvin:
In my web site improvement suggestions I recommended
an applications description page. Ideally, we should have full web pages for certain apps, but this list will provide a nice start. I was thinking about page for each app, containing description, screenshot, dependencies and build instructions. It will be much work, but I think it will ease for people who search for apps with certain functionalities and for those who are building them manually.
Yes, that is where we go eventually. :)
The etherpad is an outline. Something that can be used in the revamped web site to provide a basic list. The descriptions will grow with screen grabs. If everybody picked a few apps, snapped a couple of screen shots, added more detail to the descriptions, then we could have a nice application description section in short order.
Dependencies and build instructions should go in the wiki rather than main web site. Here is a suggested outline for those wiki pages:
Feel free to edit as necessary everybody. :)
Trinity Package Build Requirements
Can I suggess the following changes?
I can then use your "topic names" as the directory for my build scripts and your docs would match the packaging repo. Also the packaging directories under each distro can be named as your topics so that the tde packaging git repo has some order to it. That way under each distro we would have for example:
tde-packaging/arch/ dependencies desktop libraries applications
