Xubuntu 18.10: Development

Xubuntu Core (Base):
- URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base/+merge/347414
- URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base/+merge/347319
- URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base/+merge/347320

Pidgin theme:
- URL: https://github.com/shimmerproject/pidgin-elementary
- Pidgin will require patching to support installing this theme globally

bzr-to-git migration (DONE):
- All Xubuntu Bazaar branches were migrated to Git to have a consistent development workflow.

lp-to-xfce migration:
- We develop two Xfce applications in Launchpad. Migrating these back upstream should boost contributions.

Xfce 4.13 components to include (https://pad.ubuntu.com/NMSlV657ha):
- thunar (several plugins yet to be ported)
- xfdesktop4 (with thunar)
- xfce4-appfinder
- xfconf (maybe, will start transition)
- xfce4-panel (requires xfconf)
- xfce4-settings (requires xfconf)
- xfce4-session (maybe)

Improved developer documentation. Useful topics to cover:
- Configuring development environment for Xfce and Xubuntu
- Debian packaging for Xubuntu packages (including gbp)
- Launchpad git workflow (WIP https://wiki.xubuntu.org/devel/git)
- Release process for applications (similar to the Xfce docs)
- Standard SRU practices to backport fixes to LTS
