Use search engines from PDF  
Written by Kobi Haron the 29 Feb 08 at 21:05. Related project: Evince Document Viewer. Not an idea
In Firefox I can highlight text and then search for that text in Google via the context menu. I want such a search to be possible in Evince.

Still better:

1. This should invoke not just Google but also other search engines installed in Firefox. The user will be able to select the search engine of his choice.

2. I would like to see similar functionality in OpenOffice as well.

Debian recognition day  
Written by Veejay the 28 Feb 08 at 15:05. Global category: Others. Not an idea
Organize a web-based Debian Recognition/Appreciation Day every year. Doesn't have to be anything formal, but the Debian maintainers are a key factor to the huge success Ubuntu is experiencing these days and they deserve the props.

Solution #2: Give credit where credit is due
Written by daguenther the 31 Jan 11 at 17:57.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me that Ubuntu has come across some heavy criticism because of it not contributing enough to projects (like gnome and debian).

I agree that recognition needs to be given.

Now my solution is very simple:

include a slide on the introduction to Ubuntu slideshow (during installation) that gives credit to the companies who have done so much to allow Ubuntu to even exist.

products like firefox get their credit by just the name, but for debian (and now gnome) their name is never mentioned, yet they have done so much for this product.

Cheers,

Copying Images in Firefox  
Written by tromboneman the 16 Mar 08 at 13:14. Global category: Internet & Networking. Implemented
In Firefox, it isn't possible to copy images. In the Windows version, you can right click on an image, select copy, and then paste it into your OpenOffice document. On Ubuntu, you have to save the image somewhere, and then import it into your OpenOffice document. I'm not sure if this is just Ubuntu, or the whole GNU/Linux version of Firefox. I do know, though, that it is possible in Konqueror!

Support kubuntu and kde the way you support ubuntu and gnome  
No information about this blueprint
Information is updated every 5 minutes.
Please wait till the next update.
spec
Written by quenturi the 29 Feb 08 at 02:09. Global category: System. Implemented
Ubuntu is the name chosen for a global project and a distro based on Gnome. Kubuntu is another distro based on kde from the very same project.
I believe they deserve the same support from the project since Gnome and Kde are the most popular desktop manager out there.
It seems quite obvious to me, the project is very much focused on one and only distro, its first baby : ubuntu.
And it shows. Kubuntu web site looks quite poor and unprofessional compared to ubuntu. Most graphic choices like the kdm default theme (even if it's supposed to be a matter of taste) look, again, unprofessional. And finally the whole distro doesn't seem to have the same amount of attention when it comes to details (one example among others: the little thing on ubuntu warning the user about the existence of proprietary drivers for display which does not exist on kubuntu).
I've been told once, like a year ago, by an ubuntu dev that the situation is such because the project doesn't feel like fragmenting its market share.
Whatever is the official position of the project, I don't think you should do things half way.
The Kde project is itself in full evolution with Kde 4. It does deserve full support from ubuntu.

Thank you for reading.

Replace Firefox with Epiphany as the default webbrowser  
Ubuntu

In :  
Priority : Undefined
Definition : New (Needs guidance)
Implementation : Unknown
Assignee :
spec
forum
Written by F for Fragging the 28 Feb 08 at 22:14. Global category: Internet & Networking. Won't implement
Unlike Epiphnay, Firefox is not a real GNOME application, even with the enhanced native look which has been introduced by Firefox 3.0.

Epiphany is a very simple browser, more conforming to the spirit of GNOME, which lacks a lot of the features of Firefox. However, I think most people will probably not need Firefox' extra features and plugins. Those who do need Firefox could easily download it when Epiphany becomes the default webbrowser included out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. Ubuntu should aim for consistency, and Epiphany certainly is a better candidate than Firefox if consistency is the goal.

Epiphany currently uses the Gecko-engine for rendering, but will probably feature WebKit - http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/WebKit - soon. WebKit would probably do a better job than Gecko.

Because somehow Ubuntu brainstorm says the Blueprint URL I gave isn't valid, I give it here in the text: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/epiphany-default-browser
