Thanks all for the comments. This is the final one: * Calculator * Evolution Mail * Evolution Calendaring * Firefox Web Browser * Gaim Instant Messenger * Openoffice Word Processor * Openoffice Spreadsheet * Texteditor
Some final notes: [1] Naming The mail list caused some debate as to naming of application NAMES as opposed to naming of application TASKS, but Oliver cleared that up with the following: > well, we wont touch the .desktop files that contain the default names > and translations indeed. this is all about menu structure, not about > the entries (else we'd have to touch every .desktop file in the system > to present the name we want, that's not doable with the manpower we > have :) ) > > in my ubuntu and edubuntu menus, the firefox entry says "Firefox Web > Browser" which i think is fine because it represents the app and its > functionallity. in the meeting richard asked for apps that we would > see as generic apps that should be in a base profile... > > we didn't check the menu entries but threw in the names of apps we > have installed by default ;) [2] editor & word processor > How do you explain to the new user why you have > an "editor" and a "word processor"? Text editor was debated as a quick and dirty: * Take notes while you listen to a discussion on how to cut open the frog. * Format text in a later lesson for Frog Report. [3] spreadsheet Spreadsheets are potentially used in: * physics science lessons for list based calculations or recording of data * accountancy & financials [4] presentation We feel students would seldom build a presentation themselves. They may open one as instructed, but that would be a double click on a file. Thanks all for the comments.
