apps.

Actually, come to this of it, you make a fair point.

I'm dead against having application code in the trunk, as I'm sure everyone
else is. However shipping a few 'enhancements' with the prebuilt release
builds can only help with much needed publicity. (assuming they meet
licensing demands). They can always be dropped as we get closer to the 1.0
build (where I think user choice should take precedence via the package
manager)

WaxDragon mentioned including some of our apps like Solitaire with 0.2.8.
Although everyone seemed to like the idea, we don't have a definitive answer
yet. 
Are we going ahead with this one?

Personally, I'd do that. At least a hand full of simple apps to at least 
show a little something. I for myself was all time bored of ReactOS due 
to *no* app on the lifecd / qemu-installation.
So at least in the qemu image it's possible to include apps with no 
impact to the build system or svn. That sayd, it's no big step to also 
include firefox.

Since I currently/still doing the publish, I'd say following:
If noone urges me to not do it, I'd configure some apps + 
firefox/mozilla on the qemu-image  ??

I urge you not to include Firefox :-). Haven't looked at Mozilla SeaMonkey.
Although it does startup now, there are still lots of problems which need to
be solved.

Include some apps.

Firefox doesn't work correctly. We can't ship an application which 
exposes bugs.

Don't you ship it with Regedit which has problems of its own?

Remember that you must build Firefox from sources if you want to distribute it.
