Linux Lite Issues

This document will serve to hopefully compile all issues I see with various projects done by Linux Lite. I feel this is a better way to do things as the current system is not oriented towards teamwork (the lack of a github organization really needs to be fixed, no offense).

Documentation

Github Organization.

NOTE: DON'T GET BUTTHURT READING THIS, KEEP YOUR COOL, I'M BEING SERIOUS

To give proper credit to authors, whether it be for documentation, code, etc a github organization NEEDS to be setup. This hacky method of keeping a distributions projects under a user account is simply not acceptable. Some reasons this isn't accept are:

• It makes it look like authors have COPIED their ORIGINAL works!
• It doesn't foster a sense of community.
• It makes it harder for people who want to help to contribute.
• It slows down progress.

that is just a short list of reasons why. A github organization will allow for Linux Lite to grow faster, for reasons such as:

• The community has more involvement.
  • More people can take time to fix things.
  • More work can be done independently
  • More issues can be addressed
• A smoother work flow can be achieved.
  • Less overhead.

Things that need fixing

These applications at this point don't have what I feel would meet minimum documentation requirements.

• Lite Software
• Lite Control Center (almost, but not quite there)
• Lite Manual (Official, not my gitbook rewrite)
• Lite Welcome
• Lite Tweaks
• xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin(Almost...not quite)
• Lite Builder
• Lite User Manager
• Linux Lite Kernel Build Script(IMPORTANT)
• Lite Login(Doesn't seem like you'd need much for a theme)

Minimum "Documentation" Requirements for README.md

You may see this and say "woah! That's a majority of the repos in your list!" and sadly this is true. Though I have very basic requirements for the README.md file of all repos.

• A short description of the applications' function.
• A screenshot or two, depends on what the application is I suppose.
• A list of Depends
  • there is no arguing here, it'll the job of future devs easier!
• An Alphabetically sorted, bulleted list of authors.
• Credits

for an example of this, see the lite-updater repo.

Belongs somewhere ELSE

• Lite Upgrade
• Lite Tasker
• Lite Projects 2.0
  • This is what milestones are for in git(hub).

Clean up "Abandonware"

This section is for stuff I don't know whether LL uses anymore, that should be cleaned up.

• laughing-avanger
• Lite Backup
• Lite Time
• Lite Boot Screen
