No objections, but what should be done with the wiki list/page? Just
a link to <a href="http://alternativeto.net/?platform=xfce" target="_blank">alternativeto.net/?platform=xfce</a> ?<div><div><span><br>

<div>Pros: The <a href="http://alternativeto.net" target="_blank">alternativeto.net</a> also
keeps softwares in their appropriate categories. Some
software should be in more than one category. e.g. mplayer
is both a music player and video player.<br>
</div>
I would only need to add appropriate links to website for each
category.<br>
<br>
</div>
Do you see any problem with my all this reform, guys/girls?<br>

<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
you know better.<br>

<div>The page <a href="https://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps" target="_blank">https://wiki.xfce.org/recommendedapps</a>
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>
