Being inclined to think that those trying Haiku once it hits an official
will go beyond developers (ie., former BeOS users, hobbyists, etc.), +1
for including Clockwerk, Vision and Wonderbrush.

I also give my +1 to Tracker add-ons like OpenTerminal and MountImage.
Personally, and for those of us who still use Tracker to manage our
email, I would like to see MarkAs included; it is small and the source
is available under MIT/BSD license (http://www.bebits.com/app/4433).

Oh, and I would also love if KeymapSwitcher was included in the alpha;
but in all honestly, I can't find any justification other than "because
I can't live without it". ;)

Cheers,

Jorge/aka Koki
