http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com guidelines and check if your idea has been posted already! ]]> en-us Sat, 22-Nov-2008 00:00:00 UTC Sat, 22-Nov-2008 00:00:00 UTC QAPoll module http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/2169/ Add an option to filter ideas based on a "number of votes received" threshold. I.e. you can set the threshold to -10 and then automatically not see ideas with votes below that number.

Combine this with idea 2161 - hide/show ideas you've already voted on and idea 1335 (add an "I don't really care" option) so that you can make ideas hide without voting on it.

That way people a more likely to vote on more ideas then just the most popular ones or most recent ones!

Take my experience with trying to find a development environment for Ubuntu, for example. I toyed around with various things, and eventually thought that Anjuta would be a good bet. So I installed it. I tried to create a Glade project, but it caused Anjuta to crash. Googling around, I found that this is a known issue. A fix is available, that's true - but there really needs to be more polish than this.

I noticed a few suggestions about video editors in brainstorm, too. There are many choices for Linux, but most of them have niggling flaws. I would like to see these addressed.

I know what you're thinking - Linux is about choice. But I would rather see one 100% solution than two 50% solutions.

WebKit is fast, small and well integrated (Check out the link above).

Consider switching to a webkit-based browser as a standard in the future.

I have spent may a day trying to configure wireless cards on Ubuntu, often without much luck!

Please also deliver more support for what they are both wireless PCI cards and USB, as it is currently very low base of drivers for such devices

At install (or some EASY option post install) it should be single clicks away to add:

1) mediabuntu and/or full codec packs
2) MS true type fonts
3) Adobe Reader or other similar software
4) Sun Java
5) NTFS config tools
6) realplayer
7) etc,

To disable ipv6, the module ipv6 has to be blacklisted. And a reboot is necessary. Very bad experience!

Please do NOT vote "-" if you would not donate a cent. Just leave it alone!

There is not negative dollar in real life either. We don't want to vote but count dollars here! Unfortunately, there is no facility for that in Brainstorm yet, so we have to do it that way. Please play along and don't sabotage it with "-" votes!

By the way, there is an idea to support donating money to ideas. Please support it!

- it would need to be more responsive, especially at start
- it should be a bit more user-friendly
