Ubuntu’s goal is to be the most popular desktop OS for humans. But new versions of Ubuntu, like most Linux distros, are still marketed towards Linux geeks. They’re concerned with technology, trumpeting version numbers and drowning out the actual things you can do with their software.

We’re picking on Ubuntu specifically because it has higher goals than most distros - it’s Linux for human beings, not Linux for hackers. Unfortunately, the release announcements have forgotten what humans care primarily about: themselves.

The included Sticker with the Ubuntu CD is too large & kind of huge.

Please ship good ubuntu stickers witn the cd


The stickers background should not be white.. It should be transparent so that it'll look more professional on a laptop body, matching with the body color.

Every day (literally) hundreds of translation suggestions and/or modifications are generated in Rosetta. Due to some current limitations in Rosetta, it is fairly hard for translation teams members to keep up with the flood of information or even know about contributions awaiting for review/approval. My intent is to describe a mechanism by which translation teams can better administrate the contributions sent by Rosetta users, provide useful feedback and take a first step toward a better relationship with upstream projects.

It's currently way too difficult to set up fonts and input editor for languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

Take a look at this complicated HOWTO:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Japanese_Input_and_Fonts_in_Ubuntu_7%2e10

Setting up SCIM / SKIM should be easy regardless of what language you log in with. Many people need to use multiple languages.

In Windows, all you need to do is open the Regional Settings and check the languages you want and possibly insert the original disc.

In addition, the fonts installed for CJK by default are horrible. Ubuntu should include more readable fonts out of the box.

I feel this is a very important issue and is blocking Ubuntu from being a serious option for CJK users.

MP3gain is a program that normalizes an MP3's volume based on it's RMS volume. This is wonderful for making sure you aren't blasted by your speakers when you listen to one song and then another, louder one. Right now it can only be used in command line. A GUI or integration with some multimedia player would be great. Integration with Serpentine would be fantastic.
