Take care of the little details  
Written by AnRa the 28 Feb 08 at 16:46. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. Won't implement
It is important that Ubuntu is polished up to the little details.

LOOK AT THIS: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LittleDetails

Developer comments
While the point is valid in principle, the idea doesn't have enough detail to be implemented ;)

Seriously, that is in part what this site is for, but posting actual suggestions for concrete issues is more helpful.

Touchscreen support for Tablet PCs  
Written by vishalrao the 28 Feb 08 at 14:37. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Better and easier support/installation of touchscreen drivers for Table PCs.

Code could possibly be shared/taken from other projects such as moblin, Ubuntu Mobile etc

GUI for ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall)  
Written by gabim the 28 Feb 08 at 14:43. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. Implemented
It would be useful to create a graphical user interface for the new ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) in Ubuntu. Would be useful to make every new release with an enabled firewall by default and with this graphical firewall utility also.

Developer comments
Gufw, a graphical frontend for ufw, is now on the Intrepid repository!

Better bluetooth support   forum
Written by tighem the 28 Feb 08 at 17:24. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Bluetooth support is still a mixed bag in ubuntu. Ubuntu needs to do a better job of making sure bluetooth devices work with the operating system. Headsets are still an arcane science and Nautilus still can't browse a BT device.

Allow users to log into Ubuntu Forums and other Ubuntu sites (such as ubuntu brainstorm) using their OpenID.

Developer comments
Work is being done along to make that possible (though I don't know an ETA).

Suspend and hibernate still seems to be a big issue based on forum posts. Really focus on fixing it, even with proprietary drivers.

Ubuntu needs to go green. Powertop, Lesswatts and other tools have finally hit the Linux scene to pave the way for better power management. It needs to be said, "if you want your battery to last longest, or have your energy bill be the lowest, you better use Ubuntu Linux."

Provide a simple graphical interface to manage _any_ type of network connection

Written by Alan Pope the 28 Feb 08 at 13:50. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
At the moment it's possible to manage traditional wired and WiFi connections using Network Manager. To connect via a modem, a 3G/GPRS card, over bluetooth to a cell phone or via USB to another device requires that the user installs extra packages, and does a fair amount of configuration that isn't found in Network Manager.

A single unified tool should be provided which allows the user to connect to a network (or internet) via any supported method. It would also be useful to provide an extension to this tool to manage firewall rules and network connection sharing.
