====== Development Roadmap for Xubuntu 18.04 ====== ===== Decided ===== * Replace xfce4-volumed and indicator-sound with xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin * Replace (or complement) xfce4-indicator-plugin with xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin * Determine which xfce 4.13/4.14 components we want to support for 3 years ===== Blueprint left over from Xubuntu 17.10 ===== * xfce4-keyboard-overlay: Port to vala or integrate with Xfce, Consider for inclusion * I no longer feel like this would be a huge benefit * parole: New PackageKit plugin installer * This could be worthwhile, but development could be given to a new contributor * xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin: Possibly replace indicator-sound * We'll be doing this for 18.04 * Integrate the Pidgin theme * Pretty low priority, requires several changes to Pidgin * Update appstream metadata for GUI applications * Should probably create a checklist for the items maintained by our team and review * Review xubuntu-core patches * Let's refresh these and get some eyes on them ===== Ideas ===== * Compton works really well and eliminates screen tearing. Is this something we're interested in investigating for 18.04? Pros/Cons? * Trim some fonts added late in the Artful cycle * Split the packaging for elementary-xfce
