Set up Mail and PM during installation of *Ubuntu  
Written by Primož Papič the 27 Oct 08 at 17:16. Related project: Kontact. New
I at least am having real problem with making Kontact and Kopete work with gMail and gTalk.
I know this are known bugs and will be fixed, but it would still be nice that when installation ask you for your personal information it should also ask for email and which PM you use. So that it configure them during installation.
It's not that hard for gMail, hotmail, Yahoo or any major mail provider, but it might be the problem for smaller local providers.
But I think that the type and server of any email provider can be found on the internet (or am I wrong). So even if I would use some of my local email address it would still work.
I think it's possible but I'm not sure...
How is this managed in GNOME?
Also I haven't installed Ubuntu for quite some time now (I updated) so I'm not sure if this isn't already included...
Any comments?

Support of classless routes for DHCP3 client  
Written by peabody the 24 Jun 08 at 09:16. Related project: Network Manager. New
Most Internet users in Russia and specifically over 80% of internet users in Moscow and St.Petersburg connect to the Internet via PPTP VPN connection (for example, users of largest Moscow providers Corbina Telecom and NetByNet Holding). Since the package network-manager-pptp, which allows PPTP connection configuration, we can connect with provider, but local resources are not available, because of routes. In windows, dhcp client receives classless routes automatically, in linux we must make that support manually by redacting configuration files.. Please, make support of classless routes))

Tools for developers on Ubuntu One  
Written by fernandoc1 the 2 Apr 10 at 13:04. Global category: Internet & Networking. New
Many people use Linux as a developing platform.
In my case, I'm a computer science student and I can't use Windows to develop any thing because the lack of terminal tools that make my work fast. Linux is my choice.
Ubuntu as the major Linux distribution is the choice of many people to develop their projects.
If Ubuntu one could have tools for cooperative development like some sort of SVN and or GIT it would be perfect to develop applications on it.
We could also host a web based IDE.
There is no fully functional web based IDE on the web. This is in development out there.
So, we couldn't lose the opportunity to host the first popular web based IDE on the Cloud.

Solution #1: Add a section for developer tools on Ubuntu ONE
Written by fernandoc1 the 2 Apr 10 at 13:04.
There should be services like SVN and GIT on Ubuntu One for people who make programming home work and some small projects to have easy access to these great development tools.
The ability to share code and cooperative development is essential in any project, because no one is able to carry every single issue in a project.

Remembering:
As more services that are available on Ubuntu One more profitable it will be to Canonical and this money will be worthful on Ubuntu development.

Solution #2: WEB BASED code editing tool on Ubuntu ONE
Written by fernandoc1 the 2 Apr 10 at 13:24.
Once, I was wondering if there is a tool like Google Docs, but to develop code, instead of documents, presentation and spreadsheets.
Googling about it, I found Bespin from Mozilla Labs.
https://bespin.mozillalabs.com/
Then I thought that it should be wonderful if I could also write C/C++, Python, Java and Shell code on such interface while my friends could read and modify in real time.
Such feature in Ubuntu One would be the best thing ever made in terms of IDE on the Cloud and would increase software productivity.

Written by aw@kreawit.se the 20 Oct 10 at 10:40. Related project: Evolution Mail and Calendar. New
IM, twitter, facebook, ubuntu-one has been integrated in indicator-applets. In indicator-me you can configure chat, ubuntu-one and other services in a single point and reasonable vendor unrelated.

Your name, e-mailaddress and organisation are possible to add but are not in use for any e-mail-client. Information about services like smtp, imap and ical are not asked for.

Make ubunt act as a wireless access point  
Written by nelson.blaha the 13 Oct 08 at 14:10. Related project: Network Manager. New
I have often wished I could share my cellular internet connection with those around me via wifi, and I think this is something that would distinguish linux. A simple menu option in the network manager wouldn't cause too much clutter I think.

Upload Bar in Browsers (firefox, konqueror, etc)  
Written by azag the 8 Jun 08 at 17:51. Global category: Internet & Networking. New
we need this for big files, and is important to do the upload in a 'different window', so if you click in a link in the same page while uploading, the upload continue in progress.
the browser will open a new window with the response of the server for the upload when its done.
or may be just disable links until its done or cancel the upload, so you not break the flow of the site

include it in generic progress bars for kde4 would be great too.

Pidgin/Empathy Backdrops  
Written by pierre.slamich@gmail.com the 13 Aug 08 at 20:43. Related project: Pidgin Internet Messenger. New
A nice feature for the future versions of Empathy and Pidgin, (as well as Cheese btw) which will include video chat would be to be able to add animated/static backgrounds behind yourself using color and movement detection.

You can have an example of it @ http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat.html

This could be done using D-BUS: the feature would be implemented into Cheese and called by Pidgin, Empathy or any video chat requiring it.

See there for more technical details about the implementation:

IPv6 support in NetworkManager  
Written by emil.s the 15 Jan 09 at 18:00. Related project: Network Manager. New
IPv6 is the feature, but there are no easy way to handle it in Ubuntu.

And yes, i know that IPv6 is able to auto configure itself, but there are still times when you want a static address, turn it off, or change the auto-conf behavior.

Solution #1: Add an IPv6 tab to networkmanager
Written by emil.s the 15 Jan 09 at 18:00.
Add an IPv6 tab to NetworkManager, where you can assign a static address, enable DHCPv6/Router advertisements and so on. (same style as for IPv4).

Maybe also an "advanced" box for turning on/off router advertisements, IPv6 mobility, Privacy Extensions and Temporary addresses.

WengoPhone (OpenWengo) as default VoIP Client  
No information about this blueprint
Information is updated every 5 minutes.
Please wait till the next update.
spec
Written by RobertoLeinardi the 28 Jul 08 at 15:27. Global category: Internet & Networking. New
Probably the most serious competitor of Skype.
WengoPhone is a free software SIP compliant VoIP client developed by the OpenWengo community under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It allows users to speak to other users of SIP compliant VoIP software at no cost. It also allows users to call landlines, cellphones, send SMS and make video calls. None of these functionalities are tied to a particular SIP provider and can be used with any provider available on the market.

The GUI is similar to those of other VoIP softphones such as Skype or Gizmo5. From the main GUI, one can access through tabs the contact list, the list of calls but also the user SIP account. Technically, it is written in Qt/C++ programming language.

Particularities of the WengoPhone are:
* SIP compliance
* Provider agnostic
* Allows users to send SMS
* NAT traversal
* Cross-platform
* Audio smileys
* Qt-based GUI
* chatting with MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and Jabber users

Already in Universe Repo: sudo aptitude install wengophone
