The focus will be user friendliness, innovation, artistic look and feel, and solid, functional applications.
We are currently experimenting with keeping the base system and the applications separate.
At the moment Saluki doesn't come with applications or printer drivers.
A large amount of work has gone into making the xfce environment as familiar to puppy users as possible. There are many woof patches and several for xfce.
Saluki
updated glib now shows mounted drives in file open/save dialogs
gtk returned to 2.24.8 - possible fix for gseal errors included in devx
vattery
acpid - supend,hibernate,powersaving modes,etc
sven - most hotkeys should work
annoying welcomefirstboot message moved to the tray
gxmessage replaces xmessage
sfs-on-the-fly
grandr
Possible pcmanfm2 file manager (Rox still available)
Modular build system. Tutorial on how anyone can create their own add-on
Proposed:
Jemimah choice apps
Tman alternative lighter version
Window manager will be Metacity, (which is what Gnome uses)
Taskbar will be Xfce panel. Ttuuxxx uses this combination in his Classicpup 2.14X and it has the look of Xfce but uses less resources
Right now we are leaning towards Icewm
- Target systems will be modern to semi-modern hardware
- ISO size should be 150MB or smaller
- Based on Racy 5.2.2
- Focus will be user friendliness, innovation and artistic look and feel
- Solid, functional applications
- Modular approach using interchangeable SFS
- Metacity Window manager
- Taskbar will be Xfce panel
- Alternate window manager either Icewm or Jwm
- PCManFM2 file manager
