By default a share should be accessible as Read Only by anyone on the network without a username or password (guest access). While guest access should be turned on by default, it should also be easy to turn it off, and if desired to give guests read/write access to the folder.

You should also be able to specify local users who will have read/write access, and these local users should sync with smb users invisibly (ie: the user doesn't need to know that there are two password databases being used).

The Properties window for a folder should contain a Sharing tab with all the options available to choose. I also propose a Shared Folders option in the Preferences menu should list the currently shared folders along with their settings, and provide a button to take you into the dialogue where you can set the options.

How about https://launchpad.net/sscw ? It is a working example, although right now it's using zenity. If re-written using python it would become a very handy companion to nautilus-share.
We even should not include smb.conf in the samba package: once installed, samba server will not work until the user has defined how it should behave.

Right now, when right clicking on a folder and selecting “Sharing Options” – for example you want to share your Music folder and create a guest access to it – Samba will only share the files within the music folder but NOT THE SUB-FOLDERS where all the music is.

When sharing a folder, most people want to give access to sub-folders. For that reason, I suggest to reverse the handling of Samba sharing, so that you would have to click on an extra box to show that you don't want Samba to share sub-folders.

I personally have a file depot on my network where users can drop the files they want everyone to access.
It used to be on a NTFS partition, but is now hosted on the samba network. Doing such was a fairly hard task, since NTFS doesn't save permissions for each file, and is mounted with the 700 permission, while Samba requires XX4 or superior. I had to modify my fstab config file for that, and that's definitively not what I'd call user-friendly.

The question on many user's mind is "What am I sharing (and to whom)?"

“System > Administration > Shared folders” is a feature that has been removed since 8.04. There has been no replacement for this tool since its disappearance.

Solution is to create a utility that should provide a graphical front-end to configure both samba system shares (managed in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and samba usershares (/var/lib/samba/usershares/).

Stepping a bit outside the scope of the issue (samba), this application should have a pluggable infrastructure which can also be used to show and configure other types of shares (nfs, ftp, ubuntuone).

Central administration, what a concept!

There is already a system to do this: debtorrent (http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/)

The *main* problem with it is that there are so few users that have it installed. Making this installed and active in the default Ubuntu distribution solves this bug, as well as implementing Idea #7792 (and its 30 duplicates).

It seems fairly mature, but probably still needs some polishing for inclusion in the Ubuntu default. In particular, we need to ensure that the upload settings are very easily tweaked, both automatically and manually.

Rather than making debtorrent the default, which could be harmful to a large number of users (some ISPs block Bittorrent, as do many universities, etc.), we should allow users to choose debtorrent an option in the installer (as well as being able to enable/disable it in the software centre).

Including the debtorrent and apt-transport-debtorrent packages on the CD/DVD will add just short of 300 KiB to the disc images.

Second, while editing a connection (Wired, Wireless, DSL) I should be able to select a proxy profile for that connection.

Third, in the pop-up menu that appears when clicking the network manager icon, there should be an entry for Proxy Profiles similar to the entry for VPN connections, that would allow me to select a "non-default" proxy profile for my current network connection.

As per idea #11166 (and an extension of Solution #1), it would be nice to have the ability to automatically identify networks, so I just turn on my laptop and it recognizes I'm at home or the office and configures itself accordingly.

(Note: I used to do this with ifplugd and guessnet before NetworkManager became standard with Ubuntu.)

If you select a profile on a network not normally associated with it, you could have the option to run a wizard that lets you use the access point information (SSID and/or MAC), subnet info, or other tests (e.g. presence of another MAC using arping). Or you could manually add tests to that profile.

Add an optional check that if the defined proxy is not detected, that a direct "fail to internet" is done. This will eliminate the need for the scripts.

You can take it one step further and add the concept of an WPAD where a "standard" DNS entry will always be queried at initial bootup or when package manager is launched. This DNS entry will be an standard name for Ubuntu patch/APT servers.

Also look at granular settings where I can prevent auto updates from happening over a 3G connection.

Not many applications use the internet in comparison to the processes listed under the processes tab, and it is already rather used up as far as column space goes. So my proposal is to make a separte bandwidth tab that let you limit the bandwidth of application, groups of applications and/or the whole system (an all encompassing application group). It should let you set the upload and download bandwidth separately and it could show the list of application like nautilus does when you set it to list view with the clickable arrows to expand and collapse groups.

Allow the user to enable an option in the NetworkManager Applet called "Traffic Control" (or something similar). This will start the wondershaper script - http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ - which will allow traffic to flow smoothly regardless of the degree to which the user is utilizing the upload/download channel.

The wondershaper script takes three arguments. The first being the device for which traffic control should be in effect (which could be enabled only for specific connections, or all internet connections on the machine).
The second and third being download and upload speed respectively. These last two arguments would have to be measured somehow, by sending and receiving data thus finding the correct values to fill in here so the traffic control works optimally.

It the same as the OSX way, you keep every program in one folder, or atleast a shortcut, it would then be easy to find apps with "Other" in Firefox.

Just as a sidenote, all the files for each application would probably have to be spread around the file system, but either when you delete the shortcut or if you remove it through Synaptic or Add/Remove, Ubuntu remembers to delete all the files who is not gonna be needed anymore.

gnome-open is a command line tool that takes a file as an argument. This file will be opened with the application defined in GNOME and nautilus.

This is for a web browser, right? And Open Source stuff can be really innovative, right? Why not:

1. have a website that maintains a list of what works for each file type, that can be accessed automatically to list the best applications or plug-ins, in order (and the browser can work out what is installed, or report simple comment like "this is a pretty rare file type, and the only applications to handle it are unreliable, do you really want to go ahead??"). This could end up storing up-to-date information on user feedback, allow all manner of hardware and software interactions to be logged, and perhaps organisations could supply their own to ensure computers don't end up being unreliable when individuals try installing all sorts of weird stuff out of desperation.

2. Also have an automatically-generated applications list available, a click away, as in the first suggestion, but be aware the list could be long and not make much sense to 98% of users... add info from apt-cache perhaps to help, and allow sorting/selecting.

3. Also have gnome-open as an option, solution #5. Implement that first.

4. If the selected application is silly, e.g. "less" for a binary file, say so; if the application fails have the option of matching the error response against known problems and try to generate a simple explanation and/or web link for the user; e.g. I have the Helix play plugin installed in Firefox 3.5 and it not only doesn't work, it isn't obvious why it won't try to play mp3s... it should say "I see you have installed Helix Player, and you tried to play an MP3, but you still need to configure helix for this by..."

However, Microsoft Office acquired Groove and merge it to Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007. I fear there will be no cross-platform support from it.
