A KGetHotNewStuff dialog should offer to pull more sign languages from KDE-Apps and put them in ~/.gally
План уроков for Видеокурс Ubuntu
Необходимо разработать план уроков. Предварительно было решено, что курс будет разделён на три части, каждая будет содержать около 30-35 уроков. http://team.ubuntu.ru/projects/videoguide/план_уроков
Currently the screenlets are stand-alone applications that "exist" on your desktop or screen. They are able to communicate with each other, but they are fairly useless for third-party (gtk-)applications. My idea/plan (and also suggested by others) is to enable the screenlets to be embedded into other applications, p...
Ground Control Direction for Ground Control
We will want to look into the direction of ground control development/project management platform, what features should have a priority for development in this cycle.
This meeting is to brainstorm on the current release process, what worked and what didn't, and ways they can be improved for Oneiric. Some of the open questions up for discussion: - There are more projects now interacting that need to have inter-dependencies clarified. (development, stable releases, linaro, laun...
Automatically report package failures (overwrite problems, maintainer script failures etc) with libapt. It needs to be modified so that it can create a apport report when a package fails to install/upgrade/remove.
Just a brain dump of some of the ideas we discussed so far:  - LTS release  - Improve LTSP live  - Re-base installer step on current LTSP live  - Fix package selection to work with all locales  - Add directory integration step  - Refresh artwork  - Switch away from iTalc  - Get Wubi working  - Upgrade website to Dru...
QAccessible (framework)& KAccessible (screenreader)now exist. KAccessible needs to be added to the default install & live cd, and we need to integrate with it.
KWin and OpenGL ES for Ubuntu
Further discussion is required to plan out KWin/OpenGL ES in Oneiric.
Kubuntu Oneiric Packaging new upstream package layout due to git changes? KDE SC 4.7 Qt ? KDE PIM 4.6 UFW KControl Module? (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/UFW+KControl+Module?content=137789) kcm-grub2 by default? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kcm-grub2/) Touchégg Backup (kbackup on the DvD) Telepathy-KDE
Ichthux should come with an internet content filter that is ready to go and easy to administer. Perhaps dansguardian or willow-ng would work.
This session is for reviewing the state of Distributed Development, and planning for the next cycle.
Are there any infrastructure changes would help the Ubuntu Flavors and their communities with development and test?
Tricera should be integrated into KDE4 and Plasma. Tricera should be presented as a Plasmoid and offer a slick and nice GUI for the underlying work of Dynapt.

Template's list for translation, for each language on Rosetta, isn't sorted, filtered or grouped. Trying to group it by upstream (ex: GNOME, KDE, XFCE, ecc, or Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu) may make easy to check the status of the translation for people translating on specific area.

Although many users of leonov will know much about Launchpad already, they may find the ui of leonov very different, as it doesn't have much in common in the way of launchpad's ui. Therefore we need a set of useful, up-to-date and user-friendly documentation for both the KDE, & GTK frontends.
Qt4 GUI for Tower Defence
A small game GUI should be created using the Qt4 designer and build using the CMake-based tools. The GUI should be kept simple yet efficient. No fullscreen is needed. Qt4 native menus are encouraged. You can base yourself on existing KDE game interfaces for some ideas.

Review deferred items and decide what to pick up for raring.
Docky could provide via plugin a supplemental file browser that would work in conjunction with the folder Grid View for a complete experience without having to open up a full browser window. Such a browser would include scrolling, basic navigation, and possibly complete common tasks like deleting or renaming a file....
Firefox 3 comes with improved OS integration on gnome; unfortunately, the KDE user-experience still needs to catch up in order to provide a complete and integrated firefox experience on the KDE/Kubuntu Desktops. This specs identified the main issues and proposes solutions on how those can be resolved in the mid-ter...
Ichthux Lite version for Ichthux
Ichthux is based on KDE, which is huge for some computers. Many Churches and Christian communities have old computers and would be happier with a light version, probably based on Xubuntu.
For institutional deployment (e.g. schools, universities, companies, government offices) having lock down facilities is critical. KDE has excellent and extensive support for this which should be leveraged by providing a set of pre-defined profiles that can either be used out of the box ("Just Works") or used as a st...
Currently the documentation is missing for Keep. There is no Keep Handbook or any other information. This spec will be for tracking the documentation related to Keep.
Kio-sword integration for Ichthux
Kio-sword is a useful interface for Sword in Konqueror. It could be nice to integrate it better in Ichthux. That includes: * having a link to sword:/ in the launch.html page for Konqueror. This implies working on the Konqueror code, probably with upstream. * defining a biblestudy profile in Konqueror * calling thi...
File upload/download dialogue in KDE is ugly. Make it much more usable.
mint-artwork-* (gnome, kde, xfce tested) conflict on Gloria, preventing simultaneous installation of the mint-meta-* packages. The conflicts should be examined and split into a virtual package for Helena. After this is done, there should be "* Desktop" .mint files in mintInstall for installing them.
Wayland Support for elementary OS
wayland is faster , safer,simpler and kde, gnome ,enlightenment and more are starting to support it it will be the linux display server in the future this should be easy because gtk 3.12 supports it and mutter 3.12 (which gala is based on) too sorry for my bad english
Kubuntu should simplify Samba integration for file sharing working out of the box.

Make code more reusable for command-not-found
Hi, I think it would be better to move output printing from client.py to [/usr/bin/]command-not-found. It will increse decoupling and someone can make new interfaces more easily. Especially KDE interface, called from kmenu when application isn't installed, could be delicious. Are you interested in patches against tr...
Tuquito Lite for Tuquito
Una edición de Tuquito sin entorno gráfico, para poder crear ediciones con otros escritorios (KDE, XFCE, etc...) o ediciones de servidor.
There are users (like me) with no lan connection and those users are forsed to use Ubuntu in "off- line mode" - no updates or S/W installations from the net. Would be very good to have possibility to connect to the internet via GPRS/EDGE out-of-the-box: the installation is finished and user can go on-line by specify...

In the last years a Common Printing Dialog was proposed as an OpenPrinting project and developemnt ha started, but the dream of having one unique printing dialog provided by the desktop environment (KDE or GNOME) never got turned reality due to lack of funding.

Kubuntu Onboard for Ubuntu
Qt 4 port of Onboard, the onscreen keyboard.
Review the possibility of importing to other sources (FTP, WebDAV, USB key, CD-R, etc). Discuss the possibility of a desktop application. Plan KDE UI and KDE application support.
Some resources should be better integrated with the desktop : - Ubuntu forums for ubuntu users - Kde.news for kde users - Linuxfr for french people An installation should make links available on the desktop for those. Those links should be limited in number to have some value.
Gtk apps do not have a native look and feel in kde, using qt instead of gtk in kde would provide a better look and feel.

This specification defines a visually-equivalent (or as nearly so as possible) Human theme for Qt/KDE apps when running in Ubuntu (i.e. not Kubuntu). It also defines appropriate magic to only affect Qt/KDE apps running in GNOME, so as not to interfere with Kubuntu's theme decisions. The goal being that, out of the b...

LTSP with KDE for Ubuntu
Checking LTSP works with KDE
Looks like the KDE dudes already have a start on mobile integration a la Mac OS Yosemite. It would definitely be cool to leverage this technology (of which it seems the backend is UI agnostic). We should discuss the workflow of enabling device integration with elementary OS.
Crossplatform Support for KatchTV
When KDE4 arrives, it should be possible to make KatchTV run on all supported platforms. In fact, with Qt4.4's built-in phonon and webkit support, it might be possible to lose a lot of KDE dependencies and work on any platform supported by Qt. I don't see any reason to avoid KDE though, if it provides useful featu...

Allowing to customize iso before creating bootable usb-drive
Will require removal of GNOME dependency first (see Blueprint for this). Then QT user interface will be required for the g15-config, including all plugin configuration. Finally, any GNOME or GTK specific plugins will have to have KDE alternatives implemented.
Kubuntu and KDE4 don't have an easy file sharing support for modern releases of samba. The current samba UI for KDE is unmaintained and doesn't work as expected. Added to this, it's purpose is to maintain an smb.conf file instead oif using the "net usershare" functions to make file sharing easy from a user perspecti...

Mesa and DRM driver for Broadcom VC4 for Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker
Currently the only X11 driver for the Raspberry Pi is xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo and has no 3D acceleration. Mesa and DRM drivers for Broadcom VC4 are in progress and set to debut in Linux 4.4, albeit without 3D acceleration.

Oh... PPP support in Ubuntu is awful. We need a new tool, that will help you to make a dial-up, pppoe or vpn connection. Both for KDE and GNOME. And we need a program, that will help you to attach ppp connections to virtual interfaces. NetworkManager is pretty good, but it hasn`t got support for Static Network Conne...
Kubuntu Filesharing for Ubuntu
Make sharing files in KDE easy and intuitive.
KDE 4.5, phonon packaging (vlc?), network manager
something KDE which works
The current tool set is still not serving us well. For the core KDE packages that ship upstream translations in language packs we should just use those. We should add a single template to kde4libs that provides strings for Kubuntu specific changes to core KDE that should be translated in Launchpad. non-core packa...

Extend the nautilus Panel with an »actions« page where users can click on common actions, depending on the types of the selected files. This is quite similar to the bar in Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) XP and the one available for KDE, but without the preview and attributes magic.
Discuss how we could improve on the current status of how apps retrieve data from various places, especially webservices. Current state of affairs? Common services that we should be able to access easily straight from QML? What other QML based frameworks do (BB, KDE)?
K12LTSP has a selectable session that will delete a user's KDE & Gnome configurations and then start the default session. This is useful if a user has broken her configuration and Edubuntu would do well to incorporate the script Eric Harrison uses on K12LTSP.
It would be nice to have Gala automatically decrease its power needs when an application, such as a 3D game, enters into fullscreen mode. This would be necessary so that the application or game receives the highest framerate, etc., as possible. KDE, Unity, and others have implemented similar features.
As we have a lot of problems with scim, we need to look for alternatives. One alternative is ibus. However, it needs some improvements to become a full replacement for scim.
New kind of gui for Linux Mint

Tool also included manual way to discharge battery. Tool itself need to be port on to X and then to respectly to KDE, GNOME ...
Ubuntu is increasingly dependent on Qt5 for the phone UI, and at some point in the future Kubuntu will be moving to Qt5. Discuss how to support both of these projects in the archive when they may have conflicting minor version requirements for a given release.
Work closer with the Debian KDE team - review our diff and send changes upstream - package KDE 4.7 in Debian first? + less duplication of work + less package diff that we need to resolve later - KCM Grub by default approach 2 - valid use case: select default boot os; danger: how easy is it to break shit?

In Natty we changed backports to be a "NotAutomatic" repository so users have to explicitly install from backports to pull from there. This makes backports safer to enable, but it also means that there are potentially multiple new versions of a package available (e.g. something in -security or -updates and a new fe...
There are new start menus for Gnome (http://www.pro-linux.de/berichte/media/sled10_menushow.html) and KDE (http://home.kde.org/~binner/kickoff/sneak_preview.html) which are very innovative and really user-friendly and easy to use. Could they be included into Ubuntu / Kubuntu? Or are there plans for Feisty on that?
Even though the localization situation is ever improvement, there still are changes to the infrastructure necessary to make everything more reliable. Among the most important tasks is revising how we import l10n scripts from KDE and how to make that fail less often.
Wiki projects for Oneiric
evaluate using packagekit as backend instead of aptdaemon. There is some work in PK to support debconf and there is a push for inclusion in gnome 2.30.

Ubuntu Media Center should be available as a distribution, with an easy and automated installation and configuration. This new specification only focuses on the distribution part of the Ubuntu Media Center (UMC).
It should be easy to make a USB Image in any environment, including those with text only consoles, like in a server environment.

It becomes time consuming to go through the package manager and install all the development files needed. This is where the development package opti...
I think it would be really great if we would have a Automatix/EasyUbuntu like tool which does not likely break everything and does not use tons of extra repos.

List of apps to install for EasyUbuntu
This specification aims to finalise the list of applications to install. Initial release will support only gnome, kde will be supported with future releases. <wiki url here>
Support for apturl across Ubuntu applications, messengers in particular. A very handy feature (especially for support conversations), because instead of explaining someone the usage of sudo commands and/or synaptic to install a package, you only have to type an apturl link, like "apt:ubuntu-desktop".
Auto-activate filtered items in mintMenu for community.linuxmint.com
It would be great if the first hit in filtered items would be autoselected. If so, it would be possible to e.g. type gim[ENTER] to start gimp (if no other application is available that starts with gim). Kickoff Menu in KDE already behaves like this.
I don't know whether this is the right place for my suggestion. When you install in the same computer both Linux Mint Gnome and Linux Mint KDE (eventually, together with other OS), no distinction is made in the grub menu (both appearing as Linux Mint 9).

Configurable keyboard shortcuts for Nautilus Terminal
I'd like to use F4 to show/hide the terminal, since I switch between Gnome and KDE a lot. As a bare minimum, could we at least have a config file that lets us change the keyboard shortcut(s)?

A package to integrate firefox better with kde, for example by making firefox use kde's file associations rather than gnome's. See also bug #43238.
fluxbox background for Weather wallpaper
Integrate with fluxbox. Everything works fine but the commands for updated the background are executed only in gnome or kde. I made some minor changes to the code adding at line 451 # If the user is running fluxbox elif os.popen( "ps --user " + os.environ.get( "USER" ) + "| gr ep fluxbox" )....
Folder View Widget. for Marlin
Use a folder view widget as the default desktop icon handler
I think it would be great if the gnome edition had folder view widgets. It is one of my favorite features of KDE. I know that one is already available as a screenlet. However, it could be improved considerably.
Sugerencia for Linux Mint
Hola a todos los desarrolladores de Linux Mint, quisera aportar con varias sugerencias para hacer de nuestra distribución la mejor. Llevo usando Linux Mint desde hace como un añoy me ha gustado mucho como ha ido progresando. He investigado un poco acerca del mundo linuxero y creo que la distro podría también incluir...

I think that will be confortable mark the superuser graphical-application in Gnome or KDE with a little brand like ubuntu-brand or an other one.
The way the Linux clipboard works catches a lot of new users coming from a Windows environment. KDE users already have a great utility for this: Klipper. Glipper is a similar utility, but for Gnome, it maintains a clipboard history as well as add CTRL+C/CTRL+V support. However, Glipper is not in the Ubuntu repositor...
abstract: please create an applet for having application menus on the top bar. rationale: application menu on top solves some UI problems: 1.where to put the menu on multi-windowed application (like the gimp), 2. frees desktop space from the menu-tyranny, (think OLPC) 3. cleans up the desktop, less distracting, no...
The primary goal will to bring Gwibber to the KDE environment (Kwibber, K-Gwibber ?). However, it will also include full friend/follow management & full url shortening options. Code from other open source twitter projects with url shortening & friend/follow management will merged into the Gwibber code.
Set the login Screen Resolution for gnome-control-center
Currently you can default a resolution for any user. This however does not effect the login screen for gnome, kde or other GDM's; X picks the first resolution in the screen config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf So if you have a the line Modes "2048x1536" "1920x1440" "1280x1024" etc, on a 22 inch CRT, you get ...
We all know how important it is to give the users the ability to tune their touchpads to work the way they want. While the basic settings currently exposed in Ubuntu`s (GNOME`s) touchpad configuration panel are something, they are far from complete. This issue has been identified before, many years agora. Here`s a...
I propose we build a partimage gui that runs on gnome, kde, or xfce. I believe this could dramatically improve the use of this software and make it an even more viable alternative to Ghost and Acronis.
When doing updates, sometimes Synaptic suggests the user to show differences between its configuration file and the one of the new package. Unfortunately, the command line tool diff is used to view the differences. I suggest to use a graphical tool like Kompare for KDE.
A GUI for the installation of the other desktop environments used by the Ubuntu project.

Clipboard manager is default in KDE, but miss in GNOME. It's powerful tool what many people miss. Also, it is easier for new user to remove applet rather than look for it (or maybe new user does not know that such a tool exists).

libinfinity is a new library implementing collaborative editing in a more sane way than obby currently does (i.e. with local undo and redo, supporting document trees, sane TLS handling). There are two clients currently under development: Gobby 0.5 (for Gnome) and Kobby (for KDE). We should get both into Karmic.
Lot of persons don't want to customize their Ubuntu. Why not bring them what they want: the possibility to choose betwen few themes (completes) during the install step (with preview). If their is differents and nice themes by default, Ubuntu can havec lot of new users (who think Human look old).
As seen at KDE SC 4, it would be nice if Ubuntu-Tweak could integrat the API of gnome-look.org to install new themes, icons and wallpapers without opening a web browser (This is useful if you've got a slow internet connection and you don't want to load every page, but only the screenshot and the summary of a theme o...
Jaunty usb-creator for Ubuntu
Additional frontends (Windows and KDE), the addition of a package selection interface, and other changes to usb-creator for Jaunty.

The latest KDE uses monochrome system tray icons for many of the items present. However, it does not for applications icons in the system tray. I propose that linux mint KDE edition develop a theme that will give these applications a monochrome appearance also. The goal would be to create a consistent look.
We've to create a list of what have to be done to complete the system and hardware support on KDE. Upstream created this list, though it is not completed at all. http://community.kde.org/Solid/Sandbox
Include KDE and/or XCFE support (if needed).
It should be easy to provide for each filetype a secondary program, which can be selected in the "open with" dialog, for KDE users.
Two panels by default in Kubuntu for Kubuntu Default Settings
A lot of people are under the impression that having two panels by default is a good thing for usability reasons (Fitt's Law), space reasons (one panel is too cluttered instead of two), and other reasons (it challenges Windows and Mac users to see something different).

Discussion about Kubuntu, KDE and Ubuntu One
Kubuntu did not ever had some games by default. It might be nice to have some simple games by default in Kubuntu-kde4
1.A KDE-port of Ubuntu's GTK+ OEM Installer (initially). 2.Extend the basic successive dialog based interface into a cleaner and more attractive one. 3.Include a unified tool which eases configuration for an OEM.
KDE lacks a good partition manager. Using Python, Pyparted and KDE3/KDE4 bindings, a decent partition manager could be created in a reasonable time frame.
Why not unify Ubuntu and Kubuntu Wallpapers but with different colors palette. GNOME and KDE are totally differents because are two different concepts and obviously can't be the same thing. But have one thing in common, are two Canonical distro and have the same core. Therefore about artwork, I think that for unifor...

I would expect there to be a simple way that the user can cofigure what language they want to use for their desktop and how numbers should be presented, default currency etc. In fact a user may speak multiple languages so they should be allowed to give a preferred list of languages.

Idea is to finally kick out Konqueror for Arora, the Kubuntu guys wanted to do it but backed off - mainly due to picking a bad Arora build (0.8). The 0.9 release already is much better and by the time the next Mint KDE hits the market, arora will be a past a stable 1.0 release and probably including working adblock,...
I'm missing some good powermanager, which can replace gnome-power-manager in Gnome desktop. Somethink like Kpowersave in KDE. Nice future can be cooperation "mint-power-manager" with laptop_mode and hdparm.
Use KPackageKit as default Package Manager in Mint KDE, instead of Synaptic. Latest versions seem to be almost as good as Synaptic, and the KDE Integration is so much better.
With KDE network widget still being broken (as of Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5) and Gnome nm-applet still being broken, I suggest wicd as default Network Manager for Mint KDE - it's as compatible (at least I heard) as nm-applet, faster and has less Gnome dependencies
In the KDE kicker menu, if you want to run a command all you have to do is type your command into the search bar then click "run blahblahblah" I want to see this in mintMenu
