Jeff,
A few things that I would loved to have seen were Deadbeef (a lightweight music player), Jumanji (lightweight web browser), urxvt (lightweight terminal), and Surf (another lightweight web browser). They are all awesome lightweight apps that I think everyone can enjoy.

[Jeff]

Could you provide links to each of these project's homepages? We tend to reuse names in FOSS sometimes and I'd like to be sure I grab the right packages.

Jeff,
I have some more suggestions for other apps I did not see in the repos. While there is already a pretty broad selection of web browsers, I figured a couple more couldn't hurt and might provide other users with a bit more variety. There is also a mail client I would like to suggest, as well as a few other apps. These apps are (with their corresponding web links):

1. GNU Icecat- http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
2. Iceweasel- http://www.geticeweasel.org/
3. Icedove- http://packages.debi...eywords=icedove
4. Viewnior- http://xsisqox.githu...nior/about.html
5. MuPDF- http://ccxvii.net/mupdf/
6. Zathura- http://zathura.pwmt.org/
7. Lilyterm- http://lilyterm.luna...w/index_en.html

The distribution will need it's own xdg-utils, at least for xdg-open.

And it would be nice to include some applications written explicitly for or with Enlightenment. For example, intone (written for) or netbook-launcher-efl (written with). Over the long span, this is a necessity - in the moment it is impossible to install any of these applications, since they try to install Ubuntu dependencies, which are already present in Bodhi.
Enlightenment core apps and modules are a total must. It is impossible to install editje, for example, not even compiling it (because you forgot to put the dev packages in the repo). When I have a look into packages.enlightenment.com, I see many packages I can't install through the Bodhi repos. Another (dirty) option would be to name the system packages in Bodhi the same way the enlightenment repo calls its packages, while making sure that apt-pinning prefers Bodhi packages, and adding the official repos. For example, I'd like to try the 'envision' package - a pdf reader. I use evince now, but why would I need to load additional gnome libraries if I can do it inside enlightenment?

I wish there was "Xmms" for nostalgic like me.
Please!!!!

One more, this time an app for burning:

By the way Jeff, I wouldn't mind giving you a hand with some of the apps I suggested, provided you can refer me to any guides and other necessary information for packaging software. I don't know how to package, but I certainly wouldn't mind learning, especially if it means being able to package for the Bodhi repos!

[Jeff]

If you would like to help with packaging Greg that would be awesome. A good intro for creating .deb packages can be found here. Basic background in being able to install applications from source is helpful but not required. Have any questions feel free to ask.

Cheers,
~Jeff

How about darktable?

Chromium
https://launchpad.ne...ly/+archive/ppa

Also, any chance that Bodhi would use wicd instead of NetworkManager by default?
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

I have been looking for a good e17 distro. Bodhi looks great! Keep it up!

[Jeff]

Pushing out the Chromium 10.x browser to the repo now (that had been on my TODO list). I have never used darktable before, would it be better I build from their stable or unstable release?

Firstly, thank you for having me here, I was one of the first to try Bodhi and I still love it and use it everyday,(like now). Could we possibly have more full themes "out of the box"? I`m thinking PCLinuxOSe17 with their 10-approx. Plus, is there any way of being able to use edj themes without having to go command-line? That would be huge for new users. EDIT: By full themes, I mean all different setups ala AUSTRUMI, where one-click changes the entire setup. Since this is the best E17-based distro out there it would showcase the full power and beauty of Enlightenment, plus make it easier on n00bs like me, lol. Btw, I would kill for some animated wallpapers!

[Jeff]

I'll see what I can do about adding some themes to the repository, but as Bodhi is goaled to be minimalistic ever megabyte on the ISO counts. As such I really do not want to include more than the one base theme.

Also - you can very easily change Enlightenment themes via the GUI. No CLI needed.

xfe is a light weight file manager, includes xfw (editor), xfv (file viewer), xfi (image viewer)
Homepage:
http://roland65.free...p?page=features

xfe is in the ubuntu repos but broken. It won't save settings/preferences. See here:
http://sourceforge.n...835&atid=508822

Debian and other distros I've used it on work fine.
Currently for bodhi I manually install two libraries from debian to get it working properly:
libfox-1.6-0_1.6.37-1+b1_i386.deb, and libjpeg62_6b1-1_i386.deb.
Sources:
http://packages.debi...id/libfox-1.6-0
http://packages.debi...jpeg62/download

Light weight and functional. Isn't that the theme?

[LKJ]

could we get a newer version of lxappearance? the later versions allow you to change colors, cursors etc.

[Jeff]

Sure LKJ will compile and upload a newer version tonight when I get home.
