Blocking Issues
Please list here issues which are blocking Flidas release. If you want to report a new issue, you can report them here and then list them here.
making live installer [x]
Making the netinst/text-mode installer [x]
Set up alternative architecture build jails [x]
Artwork [x]
Having a look at Uruk may help.
Adding Missing Programs [x]
The current image is missing many programs, such as Pidgin, Gimp, etc. They haven't been compiled yet, in most cases their helper scripts need to be reviewed and upgraded.
Polishing Desktop Issues [x]
The desktop environment still needs some polish, in particular to iron some kinks in the GTK theme.
Software Selection [x]
Starting with the current list of preinstalled applications (which we want to preserve if possible), we need to decide which need replacement, and what is the best program to include instead. We can also add some new programs, but keeping in mind not to bloat the system. We do not preinstall two applications that do the same thing.
