Popular ideas Here are this month's most popular ideas about Ubuntu. New to Brainstorm? Learn how it works!

Boost new ideas  
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:28. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Category: Website structure. New
Currently, the most popular ideas have the most prominent position on ubuntu brainstorm.

However, an idea that already has several hundreds of votes (and practically is already decided) needs less attention than one recently created.

For example, I recently proposed a solution to an idea that now has five votes, all positive. But apparently, it is hardly noticed by anyone else.

Solution #1: Create a new tab for ideas that need attention
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:28.
Instead of only offering the most popular ideas, add a tab for ideas that only have few votes.

Additionally, ideas that are voted about 50-50 and so still need votes for a real decision should also be shown there.

The date an idea was created should not make a difference here.

Solution #2: Guide the user explicitly through the votes
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:33.
Add a feature that "feeds" the user one idea after another, instead of making the user search ideas to vote for.

This should also give priority to new ideas and ideas still needing a clear decision.

It could be implemented either as a new tab, a part of the dash or even the main page.

In case the user is interested in a specific topic project, this should be offered as an optional filter.

Solution #3: Add a "Not Yet Voted" tab to Brainstorm

Simply Add a Scroll Down Option or Tab to Brainstorm that lists all ideas/solutions (newest first) that you haven't yet voted on.

Dictionary function in the Dash.  
Written by marsgorski the 7 May 12 at 05:55. Related project: Dictionary (gnome). New
It would be very convenient to have something like a "dictionary lens" in the dash for quick reference.

Launchpad: Data field for users to inform their UbuntuForums, AskUbuntu handles  
Written by Effenberg0x0 the 6 May 12 at 17:27. Related project: launchpad.net. New
(The same was posted to Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995309, but triagers requested it to be moved here)

It's hard for a team manager to keep track of its members now that we have many Ubuntu-related online platforms: Launchpad, UbuntuForums, AskUbuntu, irc.ubuntu.com. It's frequent to see users that have different logins / user names for each of these platforms. Launchpad already has a text field in which users can fill in their IRC nicknames. It would make things a lot easier if we also had fields for them to input their UbuntuForums, AskUbuntu handles.

Regards,
Effenberg

Solution #1: Create two additional data fields in Launchpad
Written by Effenberg0x0 the 6 May 12 at 17:27.
Two additional fields should be created in users profiles in Launchpad, allowing users to inform their UbuntuForums and AskUbuntu Handles. We already have the same for IRC Nickname, the logic is the same.

Ubuntu One User Interface  
Written by jaimeson the 27 Apr 12 at 14:58. Global category: Others. New
Hi, All.

I would like to suggest to Ubuntu One Developers the following thing:

First of all, I would like to ask: Why is not Ubuntu One Interface the same as Ubuntu Tour, that we are able to access it with few clicks, as when we visit Ubuntu official website? That would be a really cloud computing for end users.

Imagine it: We just have to be connected to the world by the web, after turning on the computer and logging with our username and password datas. Then, we have a desktop interface, like Ubuntu Tour. We can access our files storaged at the cloud, and also have the option to access files storaged at our Hard Disk Drives placed at the local terminal (It would become as a simple hard disk drive, like pendrives and other ones). We would be able to choose where we would like to save our files.

Please, consider this: Ubuntu has the future in its hands!

----------------------------------------------------------

Olá a todos.

Gostaria de sugerir aos Desenvolvedores do Ubuntu One o seguinte:

Primeiramente, gostaria de perguntar: Por que que a interface Ubuntu One não é semelhante à interface do Ubuntu Tour que, por sua vez, permite-nos acessá-lo com poucos cliques, como quando visitamos o site oficial do Ubuntu? Isso sim seria uma real computação nas nuvens para usuários finais.

Imagine o seguinte: Somente precisaríamos estar conectados ao mundo pela rede, após ligarmos o computador e logarmos com nosso nome de usuário e senha. Então, temos à nossa disposição uma interface de desktop como a do Ubuntu Tour. Podemos acessar nossos arquivos armazenados na nuvem e também ter a opção de acessar os arquivos armazenados no disco rídido local (O disco rídigo se tornaria apenas uma mídia de armazenamento, tal como ocorre com os pendrives e outros, atualmente). Seríamos capazes de escolher onde gostaríamos de salvar determinados arquivos.
