                  <div>I want to move the list to <a href="http://alternativeto.net" target="_blank">alternativeto.net</a>
                    This website has already done the job for us.<br>
                  </div>
                  This makes it super easy to contribute to xfce
                  software list and keeps it more updated. In addition
                  the users can see more descriptive information about
                  each software in better polished manner. We also would
                  benefit from not only remarks from xfce user's but all
                  other users.<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                contributers would only need to add xfce as a "custom
                platfrom" to the software they want to add to the list.
                And this process takes less than 10 seconds. The process
                is much easier than editing the wiki page.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              But there is a downside to it too. The list would be
              stored on a website other than xfce's. Which means... well

                                      does not help users choose
                                      applications, very much. <br><span>
                                      <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>
                                    </span></div><span>
                                    The format of the page also makes it
                                    hard for the user to compare and
                                    choose applications.<br>
                                    <br>
                                  </span></div><span>
                                  I think the Use case for "recommended
                                  applications" wiki page should be
                                  something like this: <br>
                                </span></div><span>
                                To help the users to find the lightest
                                application in each category that meets
                                their needs.<br>
                                <br>
                              </span></div><span>
                              To satisfy this use case we need one table
                              for each category that has the following
                              fields: Name, Ram usage, Features,
                              Website, Remarks<br>
                            </span></div><span>
                            The table should be sortable by field name.
                            It should be sorted by Ram usage by default.
                            <br>
                            <br>
                          </span></div><span>
                          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>
