Rating of websites by users and passing to other users  
Written by vkadal the 3 May 13 at 10:32. Related project: Firefox. New
There is no proper rating of websites by the users, and there is no mechanism to distribute this information for other users.

For example, onlinesbi.com is the official site of State Bank of India. There is another site sbionline.com which is not related to State Bank of India.

There shall be a way to spread this information known to one user to others.

Solution #1: Create option in the browser to rate the site
Written by vkadal the 3 May 13 at 10:32.
The browser, which is integrated with Ubuntu shall have a drop down menu. The menu may contain the following options

Site which propagates virus
Phishing Site
Site with unethical business motive
Unofficial site
No adult content
child Safe

The ratings can be compiled and displayed to the interested user. Once Ubuntu starts doing this, other browsers like chrome, IE can follow Ubuntu

Solution #1: Paste alternate text of image
Written by iegik the 3 Jan 13 at 10:52.
On web page usually use alternate text for images. Will be nice to copy this image and after that paste as text in non-graphical input ( terminal or some plain/text input ):

Graphical: "Hello, World! :)"
Text: "Hello, World! :)"

P.S.: Image used from The Noun Project (cc) http://thenounproject.com/noun/happy/#icon-No8157

Some users do not want the desktop but the power of the graphical desktop.  
Written by rahil the 6 Jan 13 at 14:02. Related project: Xubuntu. New
Some Linux users do not want to use "fancy" graphical desktop/file managers etc. but they want to use graphical applications (with forms, buttons, radio buttons, text fields etc.). Thus for many XFCE/Xubuntu is the solution. What if there was possible to have a even more “minimal” desktop, but keep the power of rich graphical applications?

Solution #1: Hybrid of the Linux/Unix console and Ubuntu desktop graphical user intraface.
Written by rahil the 6 Jan 13 at 14:02.
I would like to describe the "solution" as a scenario:

A developer starts his Linux computer...

1. When the computer is finished booting, the screen/desktop will consist of the following: a bar on the top with system information (time, battery life for laptops, network status, user etc.) and a terminal.

Note that the system information on the top most bar cannot be clicked or accessed in any way. See but don’t touch.

2. The user then starts eclipse. Eclipse starts as a full screen application (all graphical applications start as full screen applications)
3. The user starts Gedit.
4. To switch between the graphical applications and the terminal a “neat and comprehensive” application switcher is used (by using Alt+Tab). The “File”, “Edit”, “View” etc. menu items can be found on the top most bar (where the system information items are). These can be clicked, because the mouse is enabled in graphical applications.
5. The user wants to change network settings and do some file management, which is done in the terminal.

This desktop version will require a graphical engine to be running, but the entire environment will be very minimal.
All search is done in the terminal. Applications must be launched in the terminal, but as long as they are in locations that is in the PATH, they can be started from anywhere.

A button for Save & Replace  
Written by vkadal the 1 Feb 13 at 15:55. Global category: Usability. New
When ever a file is being saved from an application say gedit, and the user is trying to over write an existing file, another warning screen will appear to get confirmation for replacing the existing file. Most of the cases the user saves with the full knowledge of replacing an existing file

Solution #1: Add a button save and replace
Written by vkadal the 1 Feb 13 at 15:55.
Currently there are only two buttons. (save) and (cancel). One more button can be introduced (save & replace). So there will be three buttons (save) , (save & replace) , (cancel).

If the user clicks save, and if it is a new file, the file can be saved without any additional warning. (This feature is available already)

If the user clicks save, and if there is a file existing with the same name, a warning can be screen generated. (This feature is available already)

If the user clicks (save & replace), and there is already a file or not, the file will be saved without any warning. This is the new feature this idea want to introduce.

List Ideas like content in a book  
Written by vkadal the 1 Feb 13 at 06:02. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Category: Idea structure. New
Currently, the title of the idea, the rationale, the proposes solution are listed one by one. So a page may contain fewer ideas. Many many may not go to next page and see the older ideas.

Solution #1: List the title alone
Written by vkadal the 1 Feb 13 at 06:02.
List only the titles. By clicking the tittle, the rationale and the solution can appear afterwards, just below the tittle, by pushing down other tittles.

By doing this a page can display 30-40 ideas, anybody can view, comment, vote a bit more easily
