Ubuntu Studio Developer Tasks
Create Blueprints for each new release, which contain work items that can be assigned to a developer.
Maintain documentation
- Update the web site.
Keep the list of default Ubuntu Studio applications up to date, and relevant - Seed Management
Design application categories and documentation to 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.
