[desktop-discuss] Suggestions wanted - new repository name

[Hugh O'Hare]

I'd more or less go along the lines of what Derek proposed, something simple which makes the function of the repository clear.

As for the actual naming I don't think "extra" is accurate in the context of the overall desktop becasue to me that gives a stronger than desired leaning towards "optional", which is not really the situation in terms of having full desktop functionality. Additionally there is a partial naming conflict with SFE.

"desktop-other" or "desktop-additional" seem more logical for loose depenedency where specific applications will not be present if omitted, or "desktop-other-required" or "desktop-additional-required" for strong dependencies where build/runtime dependencies exist.
