      <title><![CDATA[[427] make Wine 1.0 available in Hardy (through hardy-updates)]]></title>
      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/6082/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Make Wine 1.0 available in Hardy (through hardy-updates). This makes it easier for some companies who depend on XP software (which already works well in wine) to make the transition to Ubuntu.<br /><br />IMHO it would be nice to release wine 1.0 through hardy-updates so everyone who hasn't disabled hardy-updates will get it. The wine 1.0 branch will probably continue to receive important updates making it easier for Ubuntu to maintain.<br /><br />According to Eric S. Raymond's "World Domination 201" Wine is very important for Linux to become successful on the desktop.<br /><br />Why wine is so important :<br />http://www.winehq.org/site/why<br />http://catb.org/~esr/writings/world-domination/world-domination-201.html<br /><br />Wine 1.0 will release on june 6th. Hardy will release on june 5th. This makes it impossible to include wine 1.0 in Hardy except through hardy-backports or hardy-updates. <br /><br />More information :<br />https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule<br />http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan<br /><br /><br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/5245/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Rhythmbox comes with podcast functionality but no podcasts by default.<br /><br />I propose we add some Ubuntu podcasts, or some Linux podcasts. Like LugRadio or something.<br /><br />So people who don't know what a podcast is, can use it as an example, to learn what it is.<br /><br />This would integrate Ubuntu users with the fantastic Ubuntu community, so that they can feel that they're part of it.<br />A strong, healthy, vibrant community.<br /><br />So they can feel the Ubuntu love. The warmth of the embrace of Ubuntu.<br /><br />The podcasts could also educate them about Linux and Ubuntu.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/42/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I guess everybody has experienced the rather long boot up times in Ubuntu (particularly with laptops). I know they are already working on it, but the change from feisty to gutsy was a pain in the ass in terms of boot up speed.<br />A default WinXP installation beats Ubuntu's boot up time by far!! That shouldn't be allowed fellas!!<br /><br />I therefore propose to the development team (both Ubuntu and by extension Gnome)to work on the improvement of boot up times in Ubuntu systems.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/476/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[If you navigate to a folder<br /><br />eg. /media/pics<br /><br />Then do a search it doesn't search for items in the folder and sub-directories below, but it is just using tracker's indexed files.<br /><br />Which is ridiculous if not stupid. Even Windows XP search is not this useless.<br /><br />Is there a way to separate these two functions (tracker & nautilus) , if I navigate to a folder and then do a search all I want is results with in the folder.<br /><br />With this Tracker search you can't expect us to index our root folder.<br /><br />Also if you search for a general term like you .jpg you will get a zillion results. While with the old search it was specific to a folder.<br /><br />I don't know if many of the developers have worked in a non IT work environment.<br />Because in these environments the Project folder and filenames are often used to differentiate files, not the contents as most companies use templates.<br /><br />It would also be silly to expect one to index the data from all the company's projects, as the number of files is so vast.<br /><br />The old Nautilus (6.10) used to do this beautifully.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[I use evolution, however when i need to look at a calendar i have to use sunbird. This is because evolution is basically stagnent, and does not support modifying web calendars hosted outside of the local server. i know there are a few work arounds for getting it to work, but i would really love to have a simple calendar program built into gnome/ubuntu(default) which links between the desktop clock (evolution calendar display) and a web based calendar, which supports bi-direction changes and updates.<br /><br />I don't like having to open sunbird each time i need to change an alarm.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/296/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Have a tutorial obviously available from the command line that hits the highlights of things that you might want to do, especially as a new user.  This is for the situation where a new user, familiar only with the GUI, ends up on the command line perhaps because something went wrong.  I'd like to see something that users would stumble into, maybe something that comes up if you enter a few invalid commands.  You shouldn't have to 'just know' some command to get this option.   <br /><br />The current 'help' command is not a tutorial, and is not very friendly.  When you type help from the command line, many of the commands scroll off the top of the screen.  Nor are man pages a tutorial - help and man are both references for people who already can get around a bit on the command line.  <br />

      <description><![CDATA[On startup Ubuntu will sometimes say the disk "has been mounted x times without being checked, check forced". Then it will make me wait to use the computer. Why not do this at shutdown instead of startup? When the user starts up the computer, they're sending a message to Ubuntu saying "I want to use my computer now." Not later. When they shut down, they're telling Ubuntu "I don't want to use my computer now." Do it then.<br />
