I have been getting the itch to do something different and of course thinking about refracta...
I thought maybe a 'home' edition would be cool? Something with more office, multimedia, games, graphics, type of stuff? Or is having different builds just confusing?
I also thought maybe instead of one default user it would be neat to have a few different user setups? Just as examples... Have a 'user1' with a cool conky setup, launchers in a panel on the left side, workspaces on the right side, and so forth. Have a 'user2' with top and bottom panels in a more standard layout. Maybe even have 'user3' with no desktop icons, the panel only have iconbox for tasks, right-click for root menu and so forth. Maybe even name the users, cool, geek, nerd or something silly?
I know it is easy for a user to create whatever they want (snapshot) and save it but I still wonder if maybe things should be jazzed up a bit.
I am ready for a wheezy based refracta myself. I love gnome3 but I think I am going to go with xfce as my main ride but it has to be newer than the stable version and I figure I might as well get the jump on the next stable release?
Also wondering if it would be good to have a GET REFRACTA download link on the home page? Something big and obvious that is a direct link to a build?
I was also wondering about the screenshots on the homepage. Is it better to keep a page of screenshots with old and new versions or should it just be the most recent version or should we have some kind of gallery for users. Also maybe add a couple screenshots to the homepage?
I was also wondering if we should have a 'user' area of the forums and a 'team' area of the forums so regular users(if we ever have any) are no confused with us talking about different builds and experiments. Or maybe we should have a seperate dev forum or some dev communication means/method. Not to exclude anyone but just to keep things a bit more seperate.
Oh and maybe a dev build download area seperate from the standard download area? Maybe more structure for the releases or something.
Just some thoughts. I got the itch and I am ready to work.
