I would like a parental control panel which could be added. Users could be then time restricted - total minutes per day, with an option to have the same every day or different times each day. After the time limit is reached they are logged off and cannot log on until the next day. There could also be options for times of day when use is allowed.
A much more involved solution would allow tokens to be printed by the parent with a code which would allow extra time if entered when the time limit was approaching.

I think it should have all the features as in the vista because i saw them and was amazed by it so i think that if it does get put in it should be easy to use like in vista

to enable me to define user with calendar time frame.

so I can either define a general rule like every day can keep working from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and add a special case like in Sundays he can work up to 10:00 pm.

in Christmas day, I can make it open as an exception, because I might be outside the country!

Suggested Situation:
--------------------
an intelligent solution, a mix of:
1- forum server, with a web interface, and tree hierarchy of different subjects interrelationship.
2- mail client to receive only notifications of others replies and link to the forum subject discussion.
3- I create the subject in the forum for example, and invite others to either see, or elaborate.
4- Or: I receive an invitation to see or elaborate in my notification in-box, so I go to the forum via the link, and post my visit or elaboration in the forum, in a new post, so the server will send a notification to the concerned persons of the subject.
5- notification in-box is cumulative, so no need to see a new notification every time someone post a reply in the forum, instead, it is only the subject of my interest gets a once I go to the forum, the indicator goes off.
6- I can attach any type of documents/files inside the forum to my post.
7- back end might be Mysql or sqlite so, a full backup will be always there and nothing will be lost.


Further features of email:
--------------------------
1- Calendar, and scheduling events can be shown as a list of events.

Further features of email: -------------------------- 1- Calendar, and scheduling events can be shown as a list of events. 2- Meeting in the forum, can be linked to some subject and calendar event as a minutes of meeting. 3- login ID can be used as the IDs of invited users. 4- email will be kept for external communications (outside the company). Get rid of: ------------ 1- no emails need to be stored locally. 2- Hard-disk failure does not mean any data loss of my emails. 3- forgetting to add someone in the loop, means that I have to search all the forks of the subject and forward them to him, instead I send the link to him for once and he will find all the previous communications of the subject. Search engine: -------------- instead of searching the in-box/out-box, a forum search engine could be used to avail the feature, also, subjects will be very limited so anyone can find all posts in a single intra-net web page, single instance of the discussions, and no need for repetition. Finally: -------- since long time ago open source skipped cloning others, and started to create its own open standards, I am sure this is a small shell on your creativity ocean beach.

Make it by default the right-alt key to switch language of keyboard

For me Linux is really sweet flexible enough to allow me customize my keyboard to do so, but for others, for my father, the right alt worked for him because he was used switch language in windows by clicking right alt+ right shift :)

Please try it and vote, and please note for respected Native English speakers, you do not need it :P

Kind regards,

to create a window-list like applet but instead of MS windows like look of windows icons and title, it just to contain application icons only, so, I can arrange launchers on the panel side by side with the window list icons applet to look like docky or Mac dock-bar.

also, the handles of both sides of the gnome-panel if removed ( for example having an option to show or hide them) will lead a great look like docky).

there are several ways to tell me as a user that evolution is busy in downloading a big attachment instead of getting the interface frozen:
1- display a progress bar in the bottom of the main evolution window ( also with ability to cancel it is better)
2- display a separate download dialog box with progress bar and ability to cancel/pause large attachments files downloads is a good idea.
3- to allow getting it downloaded via some download manager.

Why not to submit players that support OGG format instead of MP3 or parallel with them?

Even cooler, if a Ubuntu version could adopt this: stripped down with automatic Updates, self testing and a e.g. fast firefox browser. With the advantage integrating at least a few applications. Of course all automated so no worries about maintenance.

I want to propose using some of the chromeOS concepts in a future Ubuntu Netbook Version:

- Browser optimization
- Automated System and program maintenance
- automated File Sync with Ubuntu One
- Automated sync of all settings
- Log in with your Ubuntu One Account on any Ubuntu System in the world and have your personal System available in a Minute
- Integrate Ubuntu One Cloud apps into the desktop

Most of that features are technically available to the ecosystem right now, they just have to be combined like in a puzzle to form a new produkt

It also would be a big argument to bring more people to using the Ubuntu One Cloud. Market the Netbook Edition as part of the cloud, not the other way around.

Opinions?
