The 64-bit version of Ubuntu should be dropped or used as a 64-bit only architecture. 64bit for normal users should be part of the 32bit distribution.

64bit main advantage is the ability to address much more RAM, OTOH x86-64 architectures runs 32bit code natively. 32bit code for most application if enough, and often better since the memory requirement is lower (64bit code makes pointers twice as large).

Therefore users installing the 32bit Ubuntu on a 64bit machine should receive a 64bit kernel and toolchain with most of the userland running in 32bit (plus basic 64bit libraries). Some demanding applications like audio/video encoders or database could install in 64bit by default whenever possible to allow using faster 64bit instructions or addressing more RAM.

Solaris on SPARC has been doing this for many years, and Fedora recently took that direction as well.

I propose to create, for every language, an "special local brainstorm" similar to this one.

This "local brainstorms" would not be at the same level of the central one, this one. Instead, they would be delegate branches of the main brainstorm for the users of one language.

Every LB would have a set of local administrators who, from time to time, would translate the most significant ideas from the local branch to the global brainstorm (that would remain written in English).

Therefore, the ideas in a local branch would never be global ideas until a "local administrator" creates a new idea, as it is actually done, in the global one. Also, it could be desirable to say "how many users of this language approve that idea".

Similarly, "local" ideas would be linked to those "global" ideas that represent the same feature-enhancement.

Let something like "Google translate" translate the website, And if someone hovers over the text in his or her language it will show the original,

This way everyone can propose a idea in there own language and read all ideas in there own language.

And if there is a open source implementation of something like 'Google translate" lets use that. So we can improve it. Allow people that speak the original language of the idea to propose better translations. This way The translating will improve over time.

Create a new Brainstorm section to publish untranslated ideas, arranged by languages. Once an idea has been translated it can be transferred to the English Brainstorm main page.

i write this after i read http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3150/ and have written a comment in it and write that comment as idea solution.
you can make both join focus in one site and other languages this way: make it multilingual, with checkboxes to filter and show ideas in several languages that user understands and do not see which he do not understand. users that know 2 or more languages can report duplicates. i think solutions and comments to idea must be in same languages as main part - rationale and header. then may be implemented more complex way: ability to add translation of idea and solutions to other language and make possible comments in that other languages and ability also see only comments in selected languages or see all but highlite comments in understandable language.
(i have written this as idea, it has been marked as duplicate and now i write this here.)

When browsing the forums/brainstorm (as a logged in user) the website should know your native/preferred language.

All text will then (if needed) be translated in to that language. Any text they write/post can be written/posted in their language, but when viewed by a user with a different native/preferred language, the post will be translated in to their language.

This should be done at a server level (with preferably an open source translation tool). A web interface should also be available to switch individual posts automatically translated between the translation and the original.

This will remove the need for posting rules regarding language and make ubuntu more available to users of all browsers and languages.

Nautilus works fine and have a lot of features as it is, tabbed browsing and the way the address bar is now is more than enough for many users, adding stuff slows down in general and nautilus already happens to be kinda slow. Having features you don't use is a con. Thus only as plugin if implemented.
