  * Module UIs need rennovated (a 4.2/4.3 KDE goal)
  * Non kcm utilities converted and added to system settings (e.g. Accessiblity utilities, system-config-printer)
 * User configuration
  * KUser UI spec is being written but who is going to code it?

Kubuntu Jaunty KDE Packaging

Bat-team ninjas from outer space

  • bzr?
  • backports? updates?
  • kdesudo vs kdesu
  • Konqueror
    • webkit vs khtml
    • will webkitkde be in shape to be a default (is this desirable)?
  • How well did upgrades work?

Kubuntu Jaunty Setup

  • Laptop keys review?
  • Which plasmoids?
  • Which applications menu? (review Raptor, Lancelot)
  • Laptop power manager - Powerdevil replaces Guidance
    • How do we expose the suspend/hibernate U/I (none available in the Intrepid package AFAICT)
    • Do we replace Guidance on upgrades
    • Do we leave Guidance in Universe or remove it
  • Logout menu
    • Improve image so it is the right scale or it scales properly
    • Should image match a KDM theme?
  • Wine Integration
    • KDE 3.5 had a nice menu and guidance back-end. Something for 4.x should be looked into

  • User configuration
    • KUser UI spec is being written but who is going to code it?

Kubuntu Jaunty Installer

  • Ubiquity
    • Better interactive timezone map
    • Improve auto partitioning labels and manual partitioning tool
    • Password match/strength widget
    • Show all mount points for GRUB (hd0, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb, ...)
  • OEM Install
    • add some more helpful links/docs in folderview to help OEM's build a better customized install
    • add shortcut to Add/Remove in folderview
    • is there a wiki for OEM install? should there be? and provide a shortcut for it in folderview

Kubuntu Jaunty Gap Analysis

Compare to KDE 3 and Ubuntu Desktop (you can also see Kubuntu/UbuntuFeatureParity).

  • flash install
  • system-config-printer and printer-applet
  • codec installer

  • Service/daemon administration: tool for start/stop on demand any service, like as serviceconfig.py

  • Screen and display (X-server) configuration tool, like as displayconfig.py

  • Firefox welcome screen (like in Ubuntu)

  • File Sharing - was a BP for Intrepid. I believe it still needs attention (https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-filesharing)

  • Firewall - system-settings basic config for ufw. A basic FW should be included by default

Kubuntu Jaunty Package Manager

  • debconf bindings
  • kpackagekit or adept?
    • How much work is needed to get either option in better shape?
  • update-notifier
    • Is it ok? Any issues/concerns?
    • Extending it further
      1. Persistent tray icon w/ options for fetch update, advanced options like dev/prop/dist upgrade
      2. Support for adept/kpackagekit back-end choice? if possible/appropriate
      3. Other ideas?
  • Kdpkg - get 'r done
  • Konqueror - can it use apturl (updated from above) as well?
