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
