Solution #1: The Ubuntu Dash solution. Take the better of Gnome Shell.
Written by androdebian the 9 Apr 11 at 20:50.
The idea is use the dash of Gnome 3 and other things like:
- The way to select a windows.
- The way to manage desktops.

Preserving:
- The top menu of Unity.
- and the dock, eliminating of this: the exposé desktop, and the files and applications buttons.

Mockups:

In the Gnome shell dash i was added some sections like:
- Library: in the next Gnome 3.2
- People: Contacts of Empathy, Pidgin, etc.
- System: Application with their categorias for admin the system and the desktop.
- Help: Integrated help of the desktop and applications.

The search bar will find in all sections.

Better download&tasks manager for KDE/Gnome  
Written by androdebian the 4 Aug 08 at 21:56. Related project: Gnome. New
I think on only one program, with the Transmission interface, that unify downloads (by Firefox, FTP, bittorrent, emule, and anothers P2P protocols, etc) and tasks (Gnome VFS tasks, burn cd, etc).

I think on a better download support, with a lot of features like Kget, but with a simple interface like Transmission. And a dock on the systray with a simplified information about the tasks progress.

PD: Sorry for my english.. again

Entries to manage a file  
Written by androdebian the 7 Jul 08 at 17:47. Global category: Accessibility. New
When you do right click to a file, instead to appear a program or programs to open this file, should appear the kind of actions that you can do with this file.

For example, if you do double click to a .mpg file, you will see:
- View -> To watch the video (for example, totem by default)
- Edit -> To edit or improve the video (for example, avidemux by default)
- Compose -> To compose a video with others media files (for example, the best non-lineal video editor for Linux)

If the program doesn't exist, Ubuntu ask if you want install it. If you do left click, the action by default will be "View".

PD: Sorry for my english xD

Plugin management program for all programs  
Written by androdebian the 4 Aug 08 at 22:39. Related project: Gnome. Already implemented
Some last applications have plugins or extensions for expand the funcionalities or features of the programs.

I think that it might be a good idea unify all plugins managements on only one program, like "add/remove applications". And update the plugins with the update ubuntu program (update the plugins and the DEB programs).

I think that in the future will have many programs that have extensions, and I think that its good idea.

Questions in the installation about the desktop performance  
Written by androdebian the 7 Jul 08 at 17:25. Related project: Gnome. New
In the installation (and after the installation), Ubuntu should ask about the features that the user wants in the desktop (like tracker file indexing, update notifications...).

This is helpfull for the people that don't want a lot of programs running backwards the desktop.

Another solution may be a little info or tip about how to do this. System->Preferences->Sessions
