Clear message
The purpose of Ubuntu Studio:
- Provide a desktop base for multimedia applications (currently XFCE)
- Provide performance needed for multimedia applications (-lowlatency, tuning, etc..)
- Include relevant and up to date applications that cover all user workflows
- Provide documentation for users that covers just about every aspect of linux multimedia (use links to other sites heavily, to reduce workload)
- Provide various tools (application/documentation) to make system management easy for non-hackers

Ubuntu Studio Current Goals
These goals are ongoing and are worked on continuously over many releases.
Have application categories and documentation follow a workflow based format, so that users who want to do a specific task are easily led to relevant applications.
- Test and tweak the system to find out how performance can be improved for various workflows.
- Look at revamping ubuntustudio-controls to let the user more easily manage the system, without having to edit files manually, or using the terminal to pass commands (realtime privilege, adjusting rtirq - restarting, etc..)
- Investigate the possibility of creating an application that helps the user more easily find tools for workflow specific tasks. Possibly a custom panel.
