Template talk:GNOME

What should this include?

I think the template should only include software that is part of GNOME. If not, it should include another category "3rd party applications". Any comments? ~ 10nitro (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The template should consist of the major applications of these Gnome projects. However, that list also includes things like Mozilla and GIMP which are part of Gnome, but not Gnome projects. My opinion is that these are not 3rd party applications because they are part of Gnome, but they are externally developed applications. To get back on your original point: A separate category for these would seem like a good idea.--azior (talk) 14:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why "some" software available for Gnome is preferred against other? This is against philosophy of Gnome ("We promote software freedom"[1]). Either it should include all (130) of the above mentioned Gnome projects or none. Wikifriendly --Xoristzatziki (talk) 07:38, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Simply do

Without asking much, there seem to be only few people interested anyway, I simply did: the template now resembles Template:KDE:

I added software that is definitely not "official part of GNOME" but is either still very popular like Audacious (software) or stuff that is shipped by default with several distros like Transmission (BitTorrent client).

No matter how you implement it, both templates are AFAIK of limited use. IMO it is not enough to sum up packages into "multimedia", more useful would be sub-categories like simple audioplayer (e.g. Audacious, AlsaPlayer, Decibel, etc) and Audioplayer with database and Videoplayer and then other for stuff like Puddletag as well. But then is makes more sense to distinguish between GTK+ and Qt then between what is "official" part of anything. ScotXW (talk) 14:53, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
