Even if we use lightdm, gnome-shell has a gdm3 dependency. Maybe this could be distro-patched to make it optional? |

Same for the caribou onscreen keyboard |

even if not shipped by default, might not hurt to have it 'supported' in main, has a few universe deps not listed here, was in default install until 2011. (Laney: We intentionally demoted it out of supported when it had obsolete deps. I don't personally see why we would take on maintaining another application if we're not using it, especially one that hasn't been trivial in the past.) |
gnome-characters |

N |
instead of gucharmap |
gnome-contacts |

depends on email decision? because it might duplicate the email client? also depends on libchamplain and folks |

used in Shell by default if present, but we're using Ubuntu font now instead |
Notes
- Done means that is in main and in the default install
- 'In main before?' should link to the approved MIR unless it was in main before Ubuntu had MIRs. In that case, just use Y for that field.
- The Approved field allows us to easily see which MIRs have already been approved.
- The Other category is for stuff that's not a priority now or maybe doesn't need to be in the default install or main.
- The - in the first row is a basic form of nesting.
See MainInclusionProcess for how to file MIR bugs.
