[Distro] The applications (was Re: What are the needed Arabized applications?)



(Note this e-mail is to be read in conjuction with the thread: The
distro project: Linux Arabization Standards)

The following applications are candidates for the must or critical 

BiDi Library: fribidi - must
I18N library: pango - must
Text UI library: ncurses - must (Arabic not implemented)
Terminal Emulator: mlterm, gnome-terminal - must
Spelling Checker: duali - critical
Editor: vim - must
GUI editor: katoob - critical
Fonts: Khotot, KCAST - must
Window Manager: fvwm, metacity, kwin, xfce - must
Text Processing: ArabTex - critical
Mail client: Evolution, KMail, mutt(?) - must
Officeware: OpenOffice, KOffice - must
Browser: Mozilla, Konqueror - must
Messenger: gaim - must
Programming Language: C, Python - must (don't know why)

These are all the programs that Arabic people need or will need in the
near future. If I forgot something please remind me.
I will have some modifications before I declare it final tomorrow.

If these are the only requirements then I believe all distros will
qualify to gold status. That is, the ones which will include duali;)

May be we should set up a page for suggestion or so?
