Overall Summary
The list of applications bellow will be used as a reference for UME in addition to the core applications described [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/MobileApplications here] and should follow the basic guidelines described there. Basic assumptions:
All the time estimates below are based on best efforts to make the application comply with minimum criteria as described [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UserApplicationCriteria here]
All the dependencies also includes the ones defined on [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/MobileApplications the general guideline for UME applications]. The "n/a" means that no other dependencies but the general ones are known.
