I want to be a developer

I don't know anything about programming a distro, but I do have some suggestions to lighten some applications or give alternative applications that may reduce file size.  One of them is already posted (CMUS - http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/cmus-default-music-player ).

It is a command line interface music player.  It is fully functional.

I also recommend NAIM (http://naim.n.ml.org/).

If these products are used in conjunction with

SCREEN (http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/)

Resources can be freed up graphically even from alsa player and pidgin and used elsewhere, such as web browsing or graphics making.

I don't know how to get this to the proper channels to see if these changes are good ideas or bad ideas and if they can be implimented in the following release.  I also think it would be a good idea to have firefox pre-loaded with flash install if possible.  If that's not a thing linux can do I understand.  I am just trying to help make the distro better and lighter.

Best wishes.

Re: I want to be a developer

You can help out just by helping people here on the forums but if you want to be more involved please check out the Roadmap which contains a list of things to do for the 5.0 release. Add some more packages or something!

Re: I want to be a developer

I have checked the roadmap .  I need to read on how to add packages is my next step I guess.  I do want to be as involved as I possibly can.
