That's called a "distribution" - I'm not convinced :)

I think "featured GNOME apps" is a great idea - especially if we cast
our net wide and feature apps that integrate well with GNOME (like, as
was pointed out, applications like F-Spot, Abiword, the GIMP).

And I really like the design you've come up with Andreas! All in favour.

Cheers,
Dave.
