- Am I stupid? Unable to find out what OMG! means (in OMG! ubuntu). Nothing even in the glossary terms...

No you are not stupid. The term OMG is short for the Oh My God and is not a technology term thus why you did not find it in the glossary terms. Check the OMG site for more information on the meaning of the sites name. Thanks! -- [[LaunchpadHome:akgraner]] <<DateTime(2010-08-10T09:05:05-0500)>>

I have a suggestion for translation stats. I believe it would be better if there teams would be ranked by improvment of their translations stats in the previous week as that is the real indicator of their current activity.

I was getting UWN via RSS and it was fine. UWN don't come anymore via RSS. The last issue in RSS is issue 212.
Is it intentional ?

Feature of the Week Ideas

In an effort to have the feature of the week be useful and relevant to the widest possible audience here are some guide lines to follow when writing your proposal.

  1. Try to use applications that are available via Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center or secondly, System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. These are easier for users to find.

  2. We would like to try to stay away from features that require users to use the command line or edit sensitive configuration files. This is not a strict rule, but more friendly GUI apps are easier for newer users to try. There is a greater chance of someone following your directions and making use of the app if it is easy to install.
  3. We like to focus on good apps/features that are simply lesser known. We like to give these lesser known gems their time in the lime light too.
  4. Try to provide links to the app main web site where readers can find additional information about the app.
  5. Tell the readers why the feature is so useful, maybe how it has helped you. This helps readers understand the reason the app is so great and will increase the likely hood of the reader giving it a try for themselves.
  6. Try to use simple language. This is a newsletter, not a technical API reference .
