A wallpapers repository

I think Ubuntu should incorporate a repository with a collection of wallpapers. Even should include some wallpapers in the default installation.

Free Posters/Banners for Schools and Stores

Stores: I think it would be great is there were some Ubuntu posters at stores up next to the Apple and Microsoft ones. Of course it would be hard to get them up at huge corporate places, but at some small places its guaranteed they know what Linux is.
Schools: Send them to schools. They will put them up! regardless if they know what it is or not. There are probably even teachers here, who would be willing to put up posters.
I also suggest narrow vertical posters!?

You should be able to resize several icons at the same time in Ubuntu so you can more easily (and faster) get the same custom size on them.

Partner with big name game developers

This is total pie in the sky but it would be great to see some kind of partnership with the big gaming companies such as EA, Blizzard, Bethesda or some such where we could actually work with them in bringing their outstanding game releases to our platform.
Developer comments
This cannot be done just by the Ubuntu community or Canonical alone. The only true way to achieve any action by the big commercial game developers is to have (lots and lots of) individual gamers contact the support-teams of those companies and demand that they want to be able to play their games natively on their Ubuntu machines. They have to point out that native really means a native port and not one of those half-hearted wine-solutions. id Software and Epic can do it so it cannot be that hard. There are even first rumours that Valve is planning to port their Source-engine natively to Linux.
---
I don't think Wine ports count as "half-hearted". When Wine supports the application, a Wine port is fully functional and full speed - what more could you want?

Make ubuntu more responsive

I've 2 distros installed on my laptop: Ubuntu Gutsy and Arch Linux! The feel with arch is that it's whippy. From the other side ubuntu is sluggish. Sure I know that my system is not so up to date (a 1.5 Ghz centrino 512 M Ram) but Arch work very well on it with the same services loaded as in ubuntu.
So I think Ubuntu can do something to improve performance.

Offer to create a separate /home partition and use existing ones
offer to create a separate /home partition (#156177)

A separate partition for /home has been proposed for a long time in the forums. It implies some risks, though, so based on disk size Ubiquity should estimate the amount of space that should be left for / or whether a separate partition should be made at all. Then...
-The first time an user installs Ubuntu, he is given the option to set a separate /home. This option is selected by default, with a size for each partition based on a sane guess:
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7958/firstinstallaro2.png
-Of course, he can just choose not to set a separate /home. This option will be selected by default if the results of the system test suggest that's the best thing to do.
http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/6498/firstinstallbfs6.png
-Manual install is also possible. Selecting it greys out everything related to separate /home, since it's implied that the user doesn't want to be guided.
http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7976/firstinstallcvc2.png
-If the user set a separate /home, the next time he installs Ubuntu a new option appears and is selected by default, prompting to use the existing /home partition. All other options are still available, though.

Developer comments
I have always used a separate /home as well. Keeping /home after reinstallations is one major reason which has been mitigated by ubiquity preserving /home now (I didn't test that yet, though).
Either way ubiquity (the Live CD installer) should point this out clearly.
The other reason is that I want to use it from multiple Linux installations, but that's mostly a geek use case.
I have no idea what size / and /home should have by default,
I always use 6 GB for / and the rest for /home, but if someone wants to use huge databases, that'll break.
Thus I think we should stick to our current partitioning and rather improve the UI for keeping /home. There is always manual partitioning for people who actually care.

Better HD performance

The only thing that stops people I know from using a single Ubuntu install is Ubuntu being incapable of running an HD movie on a proper framerate. Mplayer seems to be running something near smooth but it's not great.
Totem should have more capabilities for HD movies.

I saw this blueprint from launchpad but it is not yet approved. I think this is a good venue for talking and helping ubuntu users live. Below is the project summary lifter from ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLiveChatSupport)
The UbuntuLiveChatSupport aims to provide an interface to communicate to other ubuntu users with the same language & location, as well as to connect to the official ubuntu channel in freenode.net. It also aims to get live chat support from ubuntu users right into the desktop menu, via "System > Help > Live Chat Support".

Some users miss that something were implemented, and suggest an idea that already were implemented years ago.
Do not mark these ideas as "Done", as it leads the users to believe that it was implemented as a result of the idea.
Developer comments
A new status for ideas have been added : "Already implemented".
From now on, ideas that are already implemented won't appear in the "implemented ideas" list.

When I use "Update Manager" to update the packages of my system, it mentions the name of the package and the size of the package.
But it does not mention the version of the package.
I want it to mention the version the package that is about to get installed.

Password strength

Warn users if they try to use a weak password. In the style of google account creation.
I originally thought that this would be good for the users login password. However, possibly this could be implemented for all passwords system wide.
Developer comments
With our automatic installation of wordlists through language-support this is actually feasible with cracklib. In the installer environment we don't have localized wordlists, but even with just the English one, cracklib is pretty useful and it does some statistical tests (independent from wordlists), too.
Also, the existing checks in PAM could probably do with an overhaul (IIRC they complain if you use a password with less than 6 characters or so, but they do not do any entropy testing, like usage of special chars, etc.)
