I've been using Linux for many years, and any time I convert someone to it (mostly family members) I have to go through the "Windows to Linux App List" and describe what apps are available with equivalent functionality.  There are a lot of sites on the web with this info, but a specific section for LinuxLite apps might be useful.

I.e.:
- Graphics (GIMP, ShotWell, etc.)
- CD/DVD (Brasero)
- Office (LibreOffice)
- Internet (Firefox, Chrome)
- Systems Settings (Settings Manager)

Each section would enumerate several apps, what they do, and where to find them in the menu.  Potentially also list which apps are installed by default and which ones can be added by the user.

Ok -- Thanks to everyone for your input.

Going to sort through suggestions and get input from Jerry & Misko.  Will post back here in a few days with general game plan and/or requesting more input on some of the ideas.

Going to leave this thread open so anyone can add to it as new ideas pop up over time.

@rokytnji,

Thanks -- link works now.  That's pretty impressive.  Something to consider for sure later on after we get the manual squared away.


@everyone,

Thanks again for the input.  Keep the ideas coming.

Just to let you all know ahead of time -- I'm purposely trying to comment as little as possible on the ideas you are putting  up for right now.  I don't want to end up influencing the direction things go in.  Figure that way things will stay in more of a free-flowing mode.  So don't mistake my lack of reaction to specific ideas as me not liking them or not appreciating them.  I'll tell you right now that I like a lot of what I'm seeing and you're pointing things out that I hadn't thought of before.  So, keep up the good work.

Hi rokytnji,

For some reason I get "this video doesn't exist" when I click it.  Did you post correct link, or do you think it got deleted?

My bad. I did not realize how the forum slices up a youtube link into just the last numbers after V=.

Anyways. I fixed it.
