Implemented
Applications like firefox have built-in upgrade notifications, and sometimes the ability to download/install upgrades. This is dangerous, on a system like Ubuntu that has a better way of doing it.
This is not only a problem for people providing free tech support for ubuntu, it's a security risk in organisations using free desktops.

The one thing I miss since I left Windows for Ubuntu about 13 months ago is the ability to copy files by rightclick-and-dragging. Now, I don't know of a simpler way to copy files in the graphical interface than copy/paste.

Make it super easy for people to vote. Minimize already voted ideas using some Javascript trick. So that there is better accessibility to ideas to be voted for.
Make Brainstorm link available from the default desktop/start-up menu of Ubuntu

Already implemented
The Synaptic package manager is fine, but if I give a programme of ubuntu in a CD, and has units etc., there is always a problem, it would have to be double click and you are, and to remove the same, as in Windows.

Won't implement
Give users the ability "hate" other users. When you "hate" another user, you automatically vote against anything posted by that user.
I think that allowing users to "love" other users would mean encouraging the creation of fictitious accounts that automatically support each other, so I am not suggesting it.
Developer comments
Let's not do this. Instead we'll add a 'report spam' button and repeat offenders posting spam or abuse will be visible there and can be banned by admins.

specifically.. in the panels.. you have the ability to just right click.. and change the transparency.. what i would like to see added .. is the ability to do this to the menu bars (applications, places, system).. and add a "font color" slider.. so that if we want everything clear.. there is an easy to find and understand way of changinng the font to white or whatever color becomes visible for the user.. and doesn't change system-wide... only with the panel and menu
