I hope you don't mind if I be a bit verbose:
* Browser: konqueror
Cool. I kinda like the fact that there is no Flash support for
Konqueror. I use Seamonkey for my heavy browsing myself.
* Irc: konversation
Recently switched to this from Chatzilla, I love how well it works
* IM: kopete
Great application. Good choice.
* office: koffice
I going to assume that the filters will be part of the spin. If so, good choice.
* PDF: KPDF
No real preference or dispute here
* audio(most): amarok
I'm going to assume that the xine engine will also be installed?
* Media Burner: K3b
Why exactly is K3B under the multimedia section? Burning MP3/Audio CDs
is only half of what it could do.
* System Cleanup: kleansweep
Never heard of it. Will Google eventually
* Project management and groupware: Task Juggler
* Home user backup?
While I am _still_ (I am loosing a lot of time) working on
system-config-backup for Fedora. It seems that the KDE way would be
http://konserve.sourceforge.net/
Bellow here I would like to put forth other suggests, based on
applications currently in use on my desktop
* Organizer and Email: Kontact
* Photo organisation: Digikam
* Photo Editing: Krita (incase not considered as part of KOffice)
I would also like to put forward a request that a verbose, clearly
worded document on rolling Fedora compatible RPMSs be produced and
well publicized.
I have attempted several times to read through, and follow accordingly
the existing available documents on the topic. I have also received
recommendations to read other .spec files. For what ever reason (I
have near ruled out my own laziness) I find following the tutorial
towards an end to be difficult.
I say this (instead of starting a new thread) as I would like to
actively start rolling packages that are KDE centric....with mind to
Fedora compatible items from kde-look.org.
Lastly, I would like to suggest, if the Gtk-QT engine is used, that
some exclusion be made for the system-config tools. I think there are
multiple benefits in have the system-config tools look different from
the persons desktop applications AND yet "universally" alike.
Good luck with the KDE spin. Anything towards having me not have to
`rpm -e gdm` post Fedora install has my blessings.
Peace
