<div dir="ltr">Subject: new "recommended applications" wiki page<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>The page <a href="https://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps" target="_blank">https://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps</a> does not help users choose applications, very much. <br><br>The description of most applications merely says "this app is lightweight". Which is a redundant sentence, because the are meant to be lightweight!<br><br></div>The format of the page also makes it hard for the user to compare and choose applications.<br><br></div>I think the Use case for "recommended applications" wiki page should be something like this: <br></div>To help the users to find the lightest application in each category that meets their needs.<br><br></div>To satisfy this use case we need one table for each category that has the following fields: Name, Ram usage, Features, Website, Remarks<br></div>The table should be sortable by field name. It should be sorted by Ram usage by default. <br><br></div>Usage Scenario: the user visits the page. He/she wants to find the lightest software in category x that has the features he wants. The User chooses the category. He then sees a table sorted by ram usage that contains a list of software in that category. He then reads the features field of every software (starting from the top, lightests first) until he finds the software that has all the features he wants. Then he read the remarks (if existed). After that, he looks on Name field to check if the software exists on his distro's repo or not. If it does not exist, then he would look at website field to visit the website of the software.<br><br><br></div><div>Thank you!<br></div></div>
