OMG! UBUNTU!: GIMP To Be Removed From Lucid; F-Spot Has Challengers. UDS Wednesday kicked off with a super interesting session; a meeting entitled “Application selection in the default install“.
Over three posts I’ll present the main ideas and discussions from these meetings: Whittling the default game selection down, removing GIMP from default installs & what best to use for photo-editing and the decision to potentially include PiTiVi as a default application in Lucid Lynx…Remember that nothing is final and decisions may change over the course of the development cycle.

The decisions behind this are based on a few factors: - the general user doesn’t use itits user-interface is too complexit’s an application for professionalsdesktop users just want to edit photos and they can do that in F-Spotit is a Photoshop replacement and Photoshop isn’t included by default in Windows…it takes up room on the disc.
