Make KeePass Password Safe a default program  
Written by MarcusRubeus the 8 May 08 at 21:40. Category: Security. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Password management is central to security. In my opinion the best password management system is the open source KeePass Password Safe (keepass.info).

The linux port is already in the repository. The name is KeePassX (keepassx.org). The features are lacking compared to the windows version, but it is still a very functional program.

Improving KeePassX and including it as installed on default would be a very nice addition to Ubuntu.

refine evolution  
Written by mangar the 26 Mar 08 at 11:32. Category: Office. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Evolution is sort of nice, but needs tons of work in order to be a competitive PIM.

for example, some actions can be:

1. remove week view, it is redundant to work week view, and provides less information.
2. integrate search-as-you-type.
3. switching between views it terribly slow.
4. Imap sync is problematic - synchronizing with google's imap gets you 3 junk email folders, 3 trash folders, etc.
5. add a counter to the number of items in each category, and the number of unread items. (in the left-side view).
6. remove the word "search" before the search filter, move it to the toolbar.
7. improve sync. with mobile devices.
8. Imap synch is very slow, compared to, for example, outlook.
9. fix the weather calendar to support countries other than the US. if not possible, remove it from evolution, and use an ical subscription.
10. allow easy access to additional ical subscriptions.
11. add smart calendaring formatting (like google calendar).
12. don't change the view when selecting a day in the mini month calendar. (very annoying. when I want to see what happens in the week a month from now, for example).
13. wrap around mail headers when using horizontal mode - currently the headers are not warper, but truncated, and the headers become very hard to read.
14. add clearer separators between the message headers.
15. allow adding more data sources for eds, so it will serve as the desktop personal data server
16. allow face browsing from contacts.
17. allow separation for components, for those of use that like to be able to view tasks and mail on the same time,
communication between the components can be done by using dbus, or simply querying eds

Firefox "copy image to clipboard" functionality  
Written by oleksiy the 4 Mar 08 at 14:51. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
At present when you want to copy image from a FF2 web page directly into the GIMP you need to save it at first, then open in the GIMP.

Would be nice to have ability to copy image to clipboard and then just paste it into the target application.
