This is just a small conformity issue. Most menu items in applications have a status tip. For example, when the mouse hovers over File->Work Online in Epiphany Browser, the status bar "Switch to offline mode". However, when the mouse hovers over Help->Report a Problem, nothing is shown in the status bar.

I'd like to suggest that Ubuntu offline documentation have the possibility of being able to be edited directly by users.

If this were possible and a way to upload to the documentation team was provided users could edit Ubuntu documentation and upload it for review without having to go through the current processes for documentation editing and submitting.

I'd like to see it made possible for the Ubuntu offline help and other documentation to have an paste-it note like ability.

Something along the lines of being able to add your own notes and guides to the Ubuntu help files for your own use and reference.

I think it would be enormously beneficial to include in the server guide some basic info/starting points to using an Ubuntu server system to manage Ubuntu desktops on a network.

Currently the Examples folder seems under-utilized. The Mandela video explaining Ubuntu, the pdfs, the "Sour Grapes" audio recording from LibraVox, the "Sax" audio file...these could all be updated, or expanded upon, per release even, so that they tied in more with the theme of the release, or simply filled additional duties. There could be filetype examples which also maintain a secondary role as help files. Video or audio interviews with developers, explaining the new features/goals of the current release. Or a vid or document about getting around the desktop. Basically, the Examples folder, which no one seems to check after their first install, could be used in a way where new users can go and find practical info, as well as giving older users a reason to check out what's new.

The Jargon file is both very funny and very educational.It is the unofficial history of computer development and shows the ethos and wellspring from which Open Source & Linux sprang.
And having some humour always available couldn't be a bad thing!

With the very impressive new layout in Ubuntu brainstorm I was wondering how popularity is now calculated ? It is slightly confusing as one idea may generate a number of solutions that can be voted for. For example, one solution to an idea may have a large number of positive votes, whilst another solution may have a large number of negative votes. How then is the popularity of the idea determined ?

Is it:
a) The total number of positive votes for all solutions
b) The total aggregate of the votes cast for all solutions (i.e +5 and -4, would give a score of 1)
c) The number of positive votes from the solution with the highest vote
d) The aggregate score from the solution with the highest vote

Whilst popularity of an idea is mentioned in the FAQ section of the brainstorm website, no indication of how popularity is determined is mentioned.

I believe this to be important, particularly as this is the main method to rank ideas.

I have an Acer One. Searching for help with Ubuntu on the Acer One through Google doesn't return the Ubuntu wiki page for the Acer One in a prominent position.

Similarly, I talk to people in the forums who aren't aware there is a wiki page for the Acer One. And what's more, the wiki can be hard to navigate anyway.

It would save a lot of hassle if it was much easier to get to the "official" web documentation for whatever hardware you're running.

May be creating a web page featuring / centralizing videos around ubuntu. Could be a good idea. This could encompass :

- tutorials / screencasts (compiz, openoffice, installing ubuntu, installing software...).
- lectures about ubuntu / linux.
- videos from / about ubuntu community.
- ...

There are allready some intersting solutions around, like http://unixtube.com, but may be some solution driven by the active ubuntu community could be a plus.

I should very much like to see an applet which could be attached to the Ubuntu panels, which would allow you to click on any text in any program which is available at Launchpad, and translated it from a small pop-up box.

I use Launchpad a lot, and finding the phrase or word you want to translate can be a real hassle, so this would definitely be of great help.

Could this be done, and would it be viable? Would anyone else like to see this as well?
