Brasero is the software burn is quite old,
Brasero recording software there is enough, please changed it to a burn k3b.

It would be very nice to read some headlines or funny videos from youtube while booting instead standard booting splash screen.

I would like to be able to
a) Jump to a position in the command I typed using the mouse
b) Copy with marking text (with the mouse) and strg+c
c) Paste with strg+v
d) Auto-complete commands from the commands previously used

I understand that the terminal comes from a time where there was no mouse, but I think it's time to make the terminal to something more modern, this would also encourage more people to use it.

Why another free office suite? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/03/1212234

It's better, faster, and freer. 'nuff said.


Why wouldn't we want this? If you disagree, why?

Currently, it is close to impossible to be able to auto-login as root.

I think we have to compile:

Solang is a free photo manager that acts as a front-end for directory based local storage as well as remote photo-storage systems, as can be said, on the "Cloud". It also has better performance and lower system requirements than existing photo managers.

Advantages:
- organisation by tags, search by tags (it's easy and simple)

Improvement:
- Improve organisation:
Use category before tags
Example: Category = Friends, a tag in category friends: John
It's for better organisation and better navigation in photos
- Editor: correct red eyes, others like digikam edit tools
- Integration with GNOME, Telepathy ?,
others GNOME technologies (Zeigeist, ...) ?
- Geolocalisation
- Upload/import to/from services: flickr, facebook, twitter, ...
- Improvements to help for add photos and organisation
- Albums creation (like iPhoto)
- Face recognition for people

The big goal is to have a very good and new photo manager ready for GNOME 3.0 with the first 5 improvements.
For the editor: there is no need to have all functions like digikam: correct red eyes and improves photo's quality is a priority.

For information (from comments): Solang is available in Karmic repository. If you are on Karmic, install Solang and test it ;)

Example:
- To search: uses huts to be checked and it search photos automatically

Yesterday a friend of mine asked for help in Photoshop. And instead of configuring my router, care for my IP or dyndns-stuff, he just called me via Jabber on iChat in OS X. That was - awesome -! One of the big, big time-saving things, Apple serves.

To cut a long story short: we definitely need an audio-chat possibility (at least for XMPP) in Pidgin or Empathy (speaking of gnome). Bundled with screen-sharing it's just perfect to solve problems over the internet.

$ CD Desktop/
bash: CD: command not found

$ cd Desktop/
$

The above is a simple example , which normally happens to all one or the other day , you type some command with caps "ON" and the "command not found" , comes up , you then realise that caps was on and you caps "OFF" , then retype the command.

It may not be a big issue , but its annoying at times.

The developers should be able to acces the user's brain, but the current hardware doesn't let them to do this, but they can do some sort of this asking the user *once* for some information useful for other applications.

Sorry for the bad English.
