## page was renamed from Xubuntu/Specifications/Edgy/Ideas ## page was renamed from XubuntuEdgyIdeas Here's a list of ideas for Xubuntu Edgy. Please do not edit this unless for tidying and organizing, bring ideas up in xubuntu-devel first. Some of these may be flashed out later to full specifications if necessary. === Important Features === These are basic features (think Win95) people are requesting and the code has yet to be written. * New printer configuration (either adding this to xfprint or making gnome-cups-manager gtk-only) * Browse Windows network (Thunar) * Trash support (Thunar) * Floppy support (Thunar) * Sort out Audio/Video player situation (gxine looks better that xfmedia at this point) (I would suggest seperate clients for audio and video: something like Listen or Exaile for audio, and gxine/xine for video) * Update-notifier to be included by default :Note: samba, trash, floppy may already be available in some form in xffm but we are focusing on Thunar. :Note: Exaile! already supports playing Video according to [[http://www.exaile.org/forum/thread/42|this topic]]. -- VincentZekred <> === Desktop UI improvements === These require significant changes to upstream code, which is in feature freeze. They would be nice to have but not as important as the previous group * DnD launchers from desktop menu/appfinder to panel (w/o explicit need for customize panel mode) * Menubar like in Gnome (Apps/Places/System) instead of simple menu (Applications) * More freedesktop.org compliant menu * Move item to arbitrary places on panel (like in Gnome) w/o the separator widget hack. * Laptop support (hotkey handling for mixer/sleep, better power management UI) === Reducing duplication, reusing Ubuntu software === The main theme here is converting as much as sensible from gnome to gtk2 libs (will be even easier with GTK 2.10) and possibly from C to PyGtk. * Xubuntu-system-tools (see how to reduce duplication with g-s-t) * Evaluate gnome-power-manager * Look into CDBS multibuild to be able to build gtk and gnome versions of binary packages from same source package === Infrastructure === * Import upstream svn into bzr in LP and work on that === LTSP === * Improve Xfce specific thin client support based on feedback, colaborate with edubuntu * Xubuntu themed login manager and bootsplash for MueKow: ltsp-build-client in the package ltsp-server needs theming support first (?) === Translations === * Xubuntu langpacks? Right now it's base langpacks + gnome langpacks (evince, gnumeric) for full desktop translation === Performance === * Revisit app selection (i.e. sylpheed-claws vs t-bird vs seamonkey) * consider using skipstone instead of firefox for lightness * Get involved in various upstream or ubuntu-wide performance work (X startup, gnome-perf, faster boot, etc) * More perf measurement tools working OOTB in ubuntu to get more users to test (systemtap, exmap, new memprof, vmlinux with debug info for oprofile) * Try getting the UbuntuLite people involved (hello UbuntuLite people)
