I think it is important for the update notifier to be color coded to stress the importance of security updates. Red updates could signify that there is an important security updates while all other updates could stay the original orange color.

Have an option in appearance for xp-vista like look i.e. start menu, blue or black glass look, one bar, quick launch, notify area, and a control panel.

When there is only one User on the Computer, the GDM Login makes no sense.

It makes the User think that his Data is secure while in fact it isn't as anybody can get root privileges choosing the recovery mode in grub or using a LiveCD ...

Would it not be possible to negotiate a deal for MP3/DVD/MS Fonts etc?
The deal would enable patent/copyright holders to charge users on a per user basis for their proprietary code/designs/patents.

At the moment if I want a licence to record MP3s on Linux I need to pay the patent holder (thomson) an awful lot of money and negotiate a deal myself.
I believe the current bulk rate is

Unlike Epiphnay, Firefox is not a real GNOME application, even with the enhanced native look which has been introduced by Firefox 3.0.

Epiphany is a very simple browser, more conforming to the spirit of GNOME, which lacks a lot of the features of Firefox. However, I think most people will probably not need Firefox' extra features and plugins. Those who do need Firefox could easily download it when Epiphany becomes the default webbrowser included out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. Ubuntu should aim for consistency, and Epiphany certainly is a better candidate than Firefox if consistency is the goal.

Epiphany currently uses the Gecko-engine for rendering, but will probably feature WebKit - http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/WebKit - soon. WebKit would probably do a better job than Gecko.

Because somehow Ubuntu brainstorm says the Blueprint URL I gave isn't valid, I give it here in the text: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/epiphany-default-browser

It's a great idea can manage the phone numbers and make calls from the pc. Export the contact's info and export to gmail or google calendar. Give internet to the phone as gnubox

I think the 6 ttys available by default are an exageration for the common user who doesn´t use it, wasting memory resources.

Better and easier support/installation of touchscreen drivers for Table PCs.

Code could possibly be shared/taken from other projects such as moblin, Ubuntu Mobile etc

Make it easy to join a Ubuntu Workstation to a Active Directory Domain. Like Windows does for instance.

cdroms are slow, don't allow to modify their content easily, they are weak and not as easy to carry as USB keys.

It would be great to provide Ubuntu as a liveUSB just as Mandriva does. We should be able to carry our distribution on any computer, manage our preferred settings (do I want binary drivers enabled ? what is my preferred resolution ?), etc.

The thing is not to make something transportable, but really a nomad system that could be used just the best way as it could on any computer.

When someone wants to unmount a volume and the mount point is used, he gets a message telling him that the volume can't be unmounted because an application uses it. The user has no idea which application is actually using it and can't remove the device.

I propose that the popup tells him which application(s) is(are) using the device and propose to terminate them (that list should be kept up to date when the app. dies).

Replace initscripts with upstart events. Our boot sequence is currently slow, full of race conditions and poor interactions, especially with competition between the series of tasks run by sysv-rc, udev and sometimes just with the kernel. We developed upstart so that we could have a truly event driven boot sequence that would be fast, reliable and flexible; we should take advantage of it.

At the moment, if someone wants to backup his documents or prepare a migration from a computer to another there isn't much more than file-roller to create a backup.
Ideally, the user should be able to run a graphic software which would ask what the user wants to backup and where (tape/usb key/remote).
Then the same tool would be able to restore the backup.

It would be useful for both backups and migration from a computer to another.

Update : See duplicates ideas which contain even more great ideas about that idea.

Provide few tutorial movies for Ubuntu newbies. I'm not sure if this is possible but these movies should be available in Yelp (help browser) through menu System/Help and Support.

Only few wireless card can configure as monitor mode for analize traffic. This can help for incentivate the security in the access points or get the wep key of our neighbor
