Release two Ubuntu options for USA and the other countries  
Written by SchwarzeKrause the 18 Mar 08 at 19:07. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
If I am not mistaken, Ubuntu can not include some software (codecs and such) by default due to legal issues in USA and some other countries. So, users from the rest of the world suffer from inconvenience for no reason. Then, why not make two releases - for USA and countries with similar legislation concerning this issue, and the rest of the world? Then, at least some users could use the full-featured system out-of-box.
Edit: And, speaking of free software, ubuntu now has a gobuntu - pure open source flavour, so why should the original Ubuntu still sacrifice its usability? Do not forget, that lack of codecs and similar stuff makes Ubuntu unusable without an high speed Internet connection, which is still a problem in some countries

Pidgin Seahorse plugin  
Written by natureflow the 18 Mar 08 at 20:03. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Ubuntu should have a Seahorse Pidgin plugin by default.

Seahorse is a GNOME front-end application for managing PGP and SSH keys.
