Photos is still missing some arguably important
core features. While we don't necessarily need parity to make a
default app switch, consensus is that Photos is not yet meeting a
minimum bar to make it a comfortable default, but probably will be
in GNOME 3.22/F25(stickster,
15:22:49)
Music is in a similar situation(stickster,
15:23:05)
Shotwell has an additional issue -- not
maintained any longer (at least main fork). Meeting attendees seemed
to agree it's worth taking on the risk of bugs/issues, rather than
switching the default prematurely.(stickster,
15:25:57)
IDEA: After F24/F25
branching, switch default in Rawhide (pre-F25) to Music + Photos,
with time to revert later if upstream (3.22) isn't judged ready; F24
defaults (Shotwell, RB) stay same as F23 for now(stickster,
15:31:43)
Removing empathy seems to be the general
consensus as well, nothing controversial. Note that mcatanzaro has a
patch prepared that will remove configuration of accounts in g-c-c
(making them disappear in that view to avoid confusion)(stickster,
15:50:48)
AGREED: (non-voting)
General consensus with mcatanzaro's proposal to keep Workstation
default apps aligned with core moduleset upstream, modulo specific
changes (right now, Rhythmbox + Shotwell)(stickster,
