I've attached a copy of the non-core applications that we've come up
with so far.  This list is by no means complete, but I think all the

Novel isn't planning on replacing KDE as the default ATM. To quote from
the SUSE letter
(http://lists.kde.org/?l=3Dkde-core-devel&m=3D106855804831790&w=3D2) to the
KDE folks: "...we will also enable our=20

This is one of the goals of the Installer project, and the time frame
will prolly mean moving it to the second Milestone.

Extending the current GNOME Preferred Application to include audio and
video at the very least would be a good thing.
