***Idea***

Provide a unified submission front-end for Brainstorm and Launchpad.

This unified submission front-end would allow all ideas, package requests, and bug reports to be submitted using one form. Then, the form handling system could determine the appropriate disposition:

- Bugs and package requests would be directed to Launchpad
- Other Ideas would be directed to Brainstorm

For obvious reasons, a related idea would be to merge/join the login credentials for Launchpad and Brainstorm.

***Situation Analysis***

Currently, many Brainstorm "ideas" are actually bug reports or package requests. The appropriate means for handling bug reports and package requests is Launchpad. Submitting these to Brainstorm is problematic for two reasons:

1) The bug reports and package requests do not get seen by the developers, who use Launchpad to collect, triage, and act upon them.
2) Actual ideas submitted to Brainstorm do not receive the attention they otherwise would, since the submissions are diluted with bug reports and package requests.

Other Brainstorm ideas address this issue; for example:

- Brainstorm: Make clear that "Add [...] to repos" belongs to launchpad.
( http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10822/ )
- Make people aware Brainstorm isn't for bug reporting
( http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4735/ )

gnome-system-monitor has a panel applet that displays graphs of things like CPU usage, network usage system load, RAM usage, and more.
However, to see exact measurements (instead of just graphs) you must wave your wand over a graph to display a tooltip (which is not real-time, forcing you to repeatedly move your cursor on and off of the graph) or open gnome-system-monitor (which covers your desktop).
I think there should be a way to see precise numerical stats without losing use of your mouse or opening a window.

Many of the pages on the site lack the two most important items of the site: the search box and the submission button.

Seems like these, especially the search box, should be ubiquitous throughout the site--as in on every page.

The search box is lacking on other post pages, which seems to be a logical place from which one might desire to launch a search.

The submit button is lacking on the search results page, and I can't imagine a more likely launching point for that button.


Thanks,

Make it possible to take ideas back and/or convert them to bug reports so that they stop wasting peoples time.

There is an special feature in Apple Mac OS X Leopard, related with the introduction of workspaces (Spaces).

When you go to the "Spaces View" (similar to Compiz Expo plugin) you can "Drag & Drop" Windows from one object to another, but you can also "rearrange" the entire space, clicking on an empty zone of the space.

The latest Windows 8 Developer Preview, boots incredibly fast! Wouldn't it be nice to see that speed on our Ubuntu powered machines? From "no power" state to "desktop" it's like less than 15 seconds.
I would really like to see that feature on Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10...

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.

(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.

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.

Beta and Alpha? What?
In the development cycle: Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1 / Beta 1.

What that means?
-Use friendly and short terms.
