Convince Adobe to host a .deb of flashplugin-nonfree on its website  
Written by aysiu the 29 Apr 08 at 18:13. Global category: Multimedia. Implemented
Ubuntu has this wonderful UbuFox integration that prompts you to install missing plugins via the package manager when you visit a webpage that requires Flash.

But YouTube (and some other sites) will tell you you're missing Flash and then link you to the Adobe Flash download webpage, which has a .tar.gz and an .rpm but no .deb download.

Since we already have .deb files for flashplugin-nonfree in the repositories, would it be difficult for Ubuntu/Canonical to convince Adobe to host it alongside the other download options?

Support OpenGL 3.0 and other 3D projects  
Written by JoeLeKiffeur the 12 Apr 08 at 20:25. Global category: Multimedia. New
I think Canonical should have to support and improve 3D projects, in order to jeopardy the Micro$oft DirectX' API.

It's interesting for all 3D games, or other apps.

I hope 3D developpers will be interested, and will migrate to GNU/Linux.

Make Totem more bulletproof  
Written by rakudave the 15 Apr 08 at 11:27. Global category: Multimedia. New
When you play 'corrupted' videos in vlc, it just skips the frames it can't read. Totem on the other hand stops entirely and throws an errormessage at you. This is annoying. I'd like to see this kind of immunity in totem...
