Brainstorm is a great idea, like the ones are being posted.

However it would be complementary if users could vote on official Ubuntu polls.

We could make this page a complete feedback website for Ubuntu in such a way that it does not take a lot of time for Canonical to digest it.

Polls are always a good option and can focus the users to answer what Canonical wants to know about us.

I am sure they have a lot to ask :)

Ubuntu has work a lot to make the transition easier from Windows to Linux. This is a quite simple element that could be done.

In the menu places, which appears also in Nautilus, we have several default places such as hard disks and USB.

It would be nice if bookmarked two places when they are found:
"Windows Desktop" and "Windows My documents". That is all. I always do that manually, because all my old files are accesible from there.

This is taken from the following experiment:

Not everyone wants internet bookmarks or integration with the web on their desktop, but the thing is that some people find it useful.

There exists an applet for gnome that does this. It would be nice to include it in repositories or in the applets of gnome, so the people who likes it can include it. We have a fish as an applet, so I find this more interesting.

You can see here the gnome applet that does this:
http://browserbookapp.sourceforge.net/
It is actually from the same person who wrote current "Places" menu.

I am particulary interested in having couple more of applets providing more integration with internet from the desktop. Some people may not like it, but again including an existing applet in the list or in the repositories will not hurt anybody.

Notice this is one of the few features that Microsoft provides with its taskbar. They may be wrong, but the truth is that some people may find it useful.

On Gnome you have the menu "Places" which lets you access all your local, and also remote places. Unfortunately it does not allow you to access to your Firefox (or internet) bookmarks. It would be great to have that.

It happens to me that I have to check a lot some websites, and now I have to open the browser, and after is open type or look for the address. Sometimes after the browser is open I forgot what I was doing so my productivity goes down the drill. Once you have opened the internet is very easy to loss your time, opening the page you want straight forward will help to reduce that.

I have being looking for this for a long time until I found it exists.

I found yet another program that does the same (not sure if it actually is)
