Natural voice reading for Xchat and other programs  
Written by DrJuano the 30 Sep 08 at 21:58. New
There are 2 projects:

mbrola: a natural voice reading in spanish.

ircha: integrates mbrola to Xchat and other chat programs.

There are actually deb packages offered in:
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/ircha/

The website offers natural voice reading in spanish.

It works fine in Ubuntu. The poject is very nice and I think it would be helpful for blind people and health problems like that. I hope you consider the project. Thank you.

Enhancing privacy in IRC  
Written by amay82 the 22 May 10 at 12:11. New
For many users, it is relevant to encrypt as much data as possible so that their ISP or maybe people who share the same (W)LAN can't grab their traffic. For instance, a programmer in a company could go online into FreeNode #rubyonrails to ask a question related to this project, but (s)he doesn't want his/her boss to know what exactly he/she had asked (for instance, because the boss could think "(s)he should already know this", etc.)

Also, the fact that IRC servers often provide SSL, shows that I'm not the only one who thinks it can be useful. If it was completely useless, nobody would provide it.

I can't think of any disadvantages.

Solution #1: Activate SSL by default
Written by amay82 the 22 May 10 at 12:11.
For all networks in xchat-gnome, activate SSL by default if the network supports it.

For instance, I know two networks:
* FreeNode - on port 7000
* Ubuntu servers - on port 7000, too

XChat-Gnome - More Features: Show Join/Parts  
Written by sevenstars the 15 Aug 08 at 20:46. New
If people should use the XChat-Gnome Programm, there have to be more features. For example me, I switched to the origninal XChat just becouse the "Show Join/Parts" Feature is missing.

I would really like to see this only feature in XChat-Gnome.

Integrate Google Wave into Ubuntu  
Written by suneej the 30 May 09 at 15:31. New
Google Wave is open-source and will be released later this year. If it could be integrated into Ubuntu then it could greatly improve the productivity and communication of networked Ubuntu users. For example more than one person can work on a GIMP or OpenOffice document simultaneously in real time etc...

It can be integrated into the Ubuntu desktop....because its open-source it can easily be modified

Solution #2: Application Plugins to make use of Google Wave features
Written by aadityabhatia the 31 May 09 at 07:51.
The best way to accomplish this task is to write plug-ins for the existing applications, to integrate new features based on Google Wave into the existing applications like GIMP or OpenOffice.

Plug-ins are OPTIONAL for user and are easy to develop, since they can be written without modifying the actual application code.

Solution #3: Use wave for the ubuntu community
Written by arand the 1 Jun 09 at 10:17.
Use wave to bring together all scattered pieces of the ubuntu community: Forums, mailing lists, launchpad, wiki, brainstorm, irc, etc., and hence create a common, transparent interface applicable to all things ubuntu. Old services will remain, extensions will congregate content into the wave interface.

Solution #4: Integrate programs one-by-one into Google Wave via plugins
Written by kareeser the 3 Jun 09 at 01:56.
Quick example: Evolution.

Both are viable programs on their own, Evolution supports POP and IMAP, and is a general PIM which would benefit greatly from Google Wave as a sync backend. Evolution could even keep their layout, but interface with Google Wave like their own API does.

Implement X-chat as default.  
Written by ubuntu4life the 27 Nov 09 at 18:22. New
I think that X-chat with the Ubuntu chat is to hard to access as a Linux "virgin". First of all they need to know that it exists, second they need to install it and third they don't know how to ask questions (how it works).

Solution #1: Install X-chat by default.
Written by ubuntu4life the 27 Nov 09 at 18:22.
Wouldn't be useful to add X-chat with the Ubuntu channel opening by default?
If a new Linux user has any questions he/she could just press the "ask the community (live)" button. X-chat would load and a screen would pop-up with some tips how to ask questions etc.

Solution #2: Implement X-chat in the Ubuntu installation when the user selects it wants help.
Written by ubuntu4life the 27 Nov 09 at 18:26.
A check box in the install menu's that claims "(Yes,)I'm new to Linux" which will make the installer install X-chat and all the other documentations etc. Otherwise not. So it creates an very helpful Ubuntu environment for Linux-virgins OR a normal one for the "pro's" and normal users.
