Install and Test 5 Different Applications From HaikuDepot

For this task you will need to have Haiku installed and running and network functioning. If you haven't gotten that far yet, please consider doing our [New to Haiku] task first.

HaikuDepot is the place where users will turn to for installing applications. This task is to test out some of those applications and report your findings. Was the application easy to use? Was it easy to understand what the application was for? Was the HaikuDepot description of it adequate?

HaikuDepot can be found on the applications menu on the Haiku Deskbar. From there pick 5 different applications and test them out. Take notes of your impressions of each and then write up a one page report with at least one paragraph about each one that you tested.

You should pick applications from various points in the list, and not just 5 programs that start with the letter "A" for instance. Check the list of already tested HaikuDepot applications at https://hackmd.io/s/Bko2GJCsQ before choosing yours, and let us know your 5 before you start.

Take screenshots of each application you test, this can be done by pressing the "print screen" key. You should set the screenshot application to "Capture active window", see https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/screenshot.html . Attach at least one screenshot for each app you tested and one report.txt file with your write ups of the 5 applications you tested.
