I find the package name extremely misleading: There is already a "Gnome Media Player": Gnome's Totem. BTW, do we really need yet another media player? If you follow GNOME HID (like Totem) and use the same back-ends as Totem, the two applications are very likely to be pretty identical (?)

Try to make it fit in a line. I suggest: "simple media player for GNOME and Gtk+." Actually, I don't get the impression that "simple" is appropriate. The launchpad page mention: | The goal is to combine multiple engines into a consistent user | interface so users can switch between engines without having to | retrain themselves to use a different UI." That seems to be the "unique" feature of the tool. > > GNOME Media Player is a simple media player for GNOME that supports > > playing media using the vlc, xine and gstreamer engines. > It has the ability to switch between the engines in the GUI, This statement is strange for a package which is advertized as "GNOME Media Player".

I am not a native English speaker, but that could be worded in a simpler way. > And this makes it sounds like a pretty pointless piece of software... * The description should state that it is "a replacement for GNOME's official media player (totem)" (or something similar, to mention that it isn't the "official media player") * The description should mention that the software is still in "early development stage", then mention the consequences (missing feature, unstable, ...) my 2 cents, Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
