=== Goals ===
== What's new? ==
* [[Grand_Hotel_Fonts|Grand Hotel]]  and [[Molot_Fonts|Molot]] fonts available by default.
* Gimp gains extra plugins for lenses correction, gimpfx-foundry and save-for-web.
* Add {{package|gnome-book}}, {{package|gnome-calendar}}, and [https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Photos/Roadmap Gnome Photos] as preview.
* Benefiting from the ability of File Manager to group rename, this release drops gthumb from default being redundant.
* Blender 2.78 regains support of {{package|LuxRender}} updated to 1.4, {{package|Yafaray}} is dropped from default.
* New supplemental wallpapers for Fedora 25. Version from Fedora 23 release dropped from default media.
* More tutorials on the list (mostly in English).


'''Under discussion''' - please discuss/edit! First round of targets comes from Martin Sourada.
== Download tab ==
* For current downloads, see https://labs.fedoraproject.org/design-suite/download/index.html


* target 1: showcase of design team work (perhaps customise the looks of the spin, add more wallpapers, include echo icons?)
{{:SIGs/Design Software/Packages/Design_Suite}}
* target 2: typesetting -- fonts, inkscape, TeX, color profiles
* target 3: general art/design work -- gimp, inkscape, color profiles, brushes, perhaps our echo-artist helper scripts...
* target 4: video editing -- something for screencasting, something to grab raw video from video camera, pitivi or kino or something like that for cutting, perhaps an app for sound editing/recording, include dirac/schrodinger codec (I think theora, vorbis, flac, etc. are already in), perhaps some app (subtitleeditor, etc) for subtitling
* target 5: desktop publishing -- OpenOffice.org + templates, scribus

=== Upcoming milestones ===
== Comments and Discussion ==
 
* See [[Talk:Design_Suite]]   
The list below is taken directly from the [http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13-draft/f-13-key-tasks.html Fedora 13 schedule] - milestones specific to this project should be added in.
 
* 2010-02-09 - Fedora 13 is branched from Rawhide
* 2010-03-02 - Alpha public availability
* 2010-04-06 - Beta public availability
* 2010-04-28 - Bug Complete (No More Changes)
* 2010-05-11 - Fedora 13 GA release
 
== Design concepts ==
 
'''This section needs to be filled out.'''
 
What are the design concepts we've agreed on for this? Possible examples include:
* select 'best of breed' apps vs "include as much as possible"
* restrict to graphics vs also go for audio/video
* include data vs not including data
 
== Technical requirements ==
 
* '''Based on:''' Fedora 13
* '''Size:''' CD size? 2GB USB sticks?
 
== Packages ==
 
To suggest a package we should include, add it to the [[#Under consideration]] table.
 
=== Questions ===
 
* What do we do with brushes?
* Will we get our own spin design?
* Which gimp plugins do we include?
* What about a comps group for the spin?
* What makes it into a bookmarks package?
* Will we get great inkscape tutorials packaged [http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Courses]?
 
=== Included ===
 
These are packages that have been chosen for inclusion in this release. They may still need packaging help.

== Resources ==
 
Some places to get ideas from:
 
* Should we be including fonts? Which ones?
* For an older list of packages we may want to consider for the final F13 build, see the (several releases out-of-date) [[Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio/PackageManifest|  Fedora Art Studio Package Manifest]]
* Should we include clip art from [[http://www.openclipart.org openclipart.org], [[http://www.wpclipart.com/ http://www.wpclipart.com/], or other sources? Also see the old [[Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio/Clipart|  Fedora Art Studio Clipart Selection and Planning Page]].
* Potential source of ideas: http://lifehacker.com/software/creative-commons/geek-to-live-6-ways-to-find-reusable-media-197538.php
* [[Image:Artwork_ArtTeamProjects_FedoraArtStudio_artstudio-ks-oct_6_2007.cfg]]  - Old kickstart file from October 2007
* What should the default search be? http://www.iconfinder.net, http://search.creativecommons.org/, and http://www.yotophoto.com all seem like options.
* Do we want to link (perhaps in a default bookmarks selection) to directories/libraries of artistic works created using open source software, or artistic works that are open-licensed?

** http://www.archive.org
* Do we want to include (via bookmarks, on a webpage, as packages, etc) tutorials for the applications we are shipping?
* How about color profiles?
* Palettes?
* Patterns and textures?
* Brushes?
* [https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Design_Suite&oldid=142870 Older versions of this page] have some ideas and lots of links as well.
