lool, 2009-06-26: List of applications which might change is too long with no clear plan when to finalize it, which criterions will be used etc. Perhaps we want to go back to drafting while we research that, or defer the actual seed changes to karmic+1?

GrueMaster, 2009-06-29: Added dependency for Desktop IM app.
The desktop team is looking into possibly switching from Pidgin to Envy as an IM client. On the flip side, Pidgin 2.6 is due out shortly and is supposed to include audio & video chat capabilities, which also solves the issue of adding an app to cover those features.
GrueMaster, 2009-07-14: Unassigned spec - left for dead.
pgoodall, 2009-07-15:
@GrueMaster - I spent a good amount of time putting in application recommendations to the spec. Can you tell me why this spec is "left for dead"? Was there another step I missed?
GrueMaster, 2009-07-21:
Spec was unassigned due to lack of communication from key players. Will review current status with mobile team and re-evaluate.
GrueMaster, 2009-07-24:
Bringing new life into the spec to get it rolling again.
anmar, 2009-07-24:
Gnome-do dropped from the list at this time.
GrueMaster, 2009-07-24:
Tied up loose ends. Now need to determine next steps.
GrueMaster, 2009-08-24:
