Amsn is better, it looks good and everybody that a know use it. In my opinion amsn must replace pidgin as a default Instant Messaging client

Wouldn't it be great to be able to command the system via a webcam gestures just like in movies (such as Minority Report not to quote it)
This is feasible : closed-source Linux implementations already exist, ant it would be an innovative asset over Windows and MacOSX.

And here you can find stuff to realize that:

Pidgin is a good program to chat on all protocols, but a webcam plugin is still missing.
The developers aren't decided to code webcam support, but having this in Pidgin is very needed.

Or why not code this plugin for emesene? But you can only use the MSN protocol at the moment!

When a mail is received and the evolution icon appears in the ubuntu panel, it should be possible to click in that icon to go to the new mail.

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

Ubuntu's bootloader is a stark black and white screen, filled with confusing options. It gives newbies a moment of indecision, as they try to figure out if they are supposed to choose something, and wonder why there are three or four Ubuntus listed. Then the timer finishes counting down (starting from 10), and the newb begins to feel like he's getting in over his head as his PC boots into Ubuntu.

Too much information up front, stark text-only display, painfully long countdown timer. What would be the alternative? Well, when a Fedora PC is booted up, the first thing the user sees is a graphical splash screen, and "Booting into Fedora (kernel version) in 4 seconds ... " The user can press a key to interrupt and select from kernel versions or alternative operating systems, or just let it boot into Fedora.

Can't we create our own attractive bootloader? Or, failing that, copy-and-paste Fedora's?
