Meta-packages to add certain typical environments
We can make meta-packages or use some other method to add certain typical environments with software and tweaks to the basic Lubuntu version. This fits the idea of a lean basic version of Lubuntu.

Whiteboard
[amjjawad] not sure what kind of packages and/or tweaks are we talking about here? IMHO, 14.04 should be as simple as possible, as stable as possible and as lightweight as possible. This version needs to be done with everyone from all types in mind. Windows Users, Basic Users, Linux Users, etc.
[vanyok] I was thinking about it last night and suddenly I see this idea here. :-) We can discuss this option more, but I recommend to carefully bring it to the 14.10 brainstorming. Thanks!

[nio alias sudodus] I registered this blueprint with the intention to provide easily selected 'tweaks' for beginners to select a desktop environment with the look and feel of Windows, Mac, Unity, Gnome Classic etc. At that time Federico Leoni had shared such tweaked desktops and we had been discussing how to implement them. (I think custom sessions are not easy to make for an average beginner coming from Windows XP.)
