Create a new section "Drivers for my hardware" (like the "Provided by Ubuntu" section), which contains the list of installed and not installed drivers packages for your computer.

Either the Education category should be divided further into primary, secondary, tertiary, etc; or the education category should somehow be merged with the Science and Engineering category to categorise all the apps in Education under the various subjects.

Same as solution #1, but with age groups because there are so many school systems in the world that there could be problems with the understanding of class levels

Basically, when you download a program, archive, etc. and when you open it, if there is no program to open it or the required packages aren't installed, Ubuntu should ask you two things:

1) Choose program 2) Search the Software Center

This is a feature in Snow Leopard that I recently discovered, and seeing it in Ubuntu would be awesome.

When searching for a new application for a given task, new users especially, should be given the possibility to go directly to the best applications, those that received many and good rating. (this will improve the user experience of Free Software by providing high quality software first).
This could be done by clicking at the top of the column like in nautilus.

There should be some way to "globally install debug libraries" (or even "install debug libraries for sselected applications"), so that one who wishes to contribute to the quality of an application can do so efficiently. This solution would assure that all applications will have debugging information available the first time that they crash.

See the following bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/303522

- Stacks can be re-annotated after-the-fact.
- Ubuntu houses debug libraries for their libs & PPAs.
So send this non-annotated stack to Launchpad with the libraries' version, MD5, & timestamp. Launchpad then could re-annotate these against debug libraries. No need for do-overs or heavy downloads this way.

By adding subcategories to the software center, finding applications becomes much easier. For instance, in Internet, we could have:

Web Browsers
Email Applications
Chat Clients
P2P Software
Miscellaneous


Or something like that.

Only thing i like in Ubuntu software center is multithreading (you can install and search in one time). Refresh Add/Remove application and it will be more functional than software center.

Adding user rating and user reviews to Ubuntu Software Center is in the works (planned for Launchpad in 10.04 and USC in 10.10). I suggest adding the capability for users to tag packages with keywords.

USC could present these tags in a list ordered by of importance (anb perhaps limited to the most important), or in a tag cloud. Tags would be separately searchable.

Tagging, as proved by hundreds of websites, is a flexible enough scheme to serve millions of different users with different habits. Simple guidelines to write tags would be provided to reduce inconsistency as much as possible.

There are three groups that could tag packages:

1. Package maintainers: upstream package maintainers should be convinced to tag their packages. Doesn't seem feasible.

2. Ubuntu developers: seems like too much work for too little people.

3. Ubuntu users: I consider this one the only feasible choice.

This would be good, especially for new users. If they want to look for the best applications they could sort it by stars (or thumbs up, or whatever it would be) and then read the descriptions. It is much easier for people to sort threw and find new applications this way.

And finding it is nothing, try to install a bunch of apps...
Also the rating system was better before.
So please let's go back to the previous system.

On the detail screen for each package (accessed via the "More info" button) add the download size and installed size. This could be placed under the current data on "License:" and "Version:", and in the same greyed-out style.

As well as the sizes for just the listed package, also compute and display the size of dependancies which must also be installed with the package. If the values are both zero then omit the dependancies section.
