FSF: A preliminary analysis of High Priority Projects feedback
FSF: A preliminary analysis of High Priority Projects feedback
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has posted an initial
analysis of the public feedback submitted in response to its call
for suggestions about what software projects deserve to be on the high-priority
projects list. Several of the existing projects on the list are
likely to be removed, such as a replacement for Google Earth and an
automatic-transcription application. Multiple potential additions to
the list are also described, such as a free-software "Siri"-like
personal assistant and a free-software implementation of advanced PDF
features. Further input is welcome; the page notes that the FSF
"will strive to recommend projects that are actionable. Such
projects document ways for members of the free software community to
get involved and make the project succeed, with any kind of concrete
contributions, from money donation, to code patches, advocacy, etc.
