I would like DragonFly to be easier to use so that my everyday desktop environment can use Hammer. +* **[Dissonance](https://bitbucket.org/varialus/dissonance)** is my fork of Apache Harmony, which is a clean room implementation of Java with a permissive license. Apache gave up because they couldn't license the Java compatibility testing framework. If Oracle isn't going to provide the compatibility testing framework, then the community should write its own compatibility framework that's better than the official one. This would cause dissonance between Oracle and the community, but that's no reason to not pursue it. I'd like to get Dissonance running on DragonFly. +* **[Jython](http://www.jython.org/)** is a Java implementation of Python. It's cool. +* **ee** is roughly equivalent to **nano**. They are both easy to use command line text editors. It would be cool if there was a shortcut to ee named nano. +* **pkgin** is roughly equivalent to **apt-get**. They are both fairly straightforward command line package management utilities. It would be cool if there was a shortcut to pkgin named apt-get. + +### Various Issues +* The installer doesn't set the keyboard layout for encryption password prompt. +* The installer sets a password for swap rather than generating a random key each boot. +* The installer doesn't set the keyboard layout for GUI. +* The installer should set the keyboard layout before any typing is required. +* The installer doesn't offer the Xfce desktop environment as a supported option. +* The installer should provide a better default shell. +* ->Excepting the bullet point, this syntax should center text.<- -- 2.41.0
