Bug Description
The Ubuntu experience is limited by plenty of small bugs. We are redesigning the "One Hundred Papercuts" project to make Ubuntu delightful by reducing them (https:/
This time we're trying the other way:
- Instead of planning so hardly, designing to deliver improvements continuously.
- Instead of working so hardly, warranting that every piece of work seizes useful.
- Instead of creating an impressive infrastructure, to make it simple and visual.
- Instead of marketing the project, to make it easy to recognize and to find.
- Instead of working in many aspects, to put all the workforce in the most important one now.
Although we will rather be working than commenting, your comments are very valuable and we will carefully look at them.
Thank you ♡

- Did you know about the existence of the papercuts project before now?
Yes
- If so, how did you find out about it?
Various Linux news websites like omg ubuntu.
- What, from your point of view, are the weaknesses and limitation of the papercuts project?
Most of the 250 odd bugs currently in the papercuts project simply cannot easily be fixed (even though they do qualify as papercuts). There are many different reasons for this including:
upstream not agreeing on the suggested change see: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/hundredpap ercuts/ +bug/681872 /bugs.launchpad .net/hundredpap ercuts/ +bug/219385 /bugs.launchpad .net/hundredpap ercuts/ +bug/411964 and https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/hundredpap ercuts/ +bug/540826 /bugs.launchpad .net/hundredpap ercuts/ +bug/498705 also search for description and you will find many others
fixes existing in GTK3 but not GTK2 (therefore not worth effort backporting) see: https:/
uncertainty about who decides if a change should be made see: https:/
slow repackaging of inherited debian packages see: https:/
Now if you continue to look though the current 250 odd bugs you will see many match the state of the above bugs. The *REAL* weakness of the papercuts project is that many of these bugs have been sitting there for years in order to fix 100 bugs per release there needs to be probably at least 200-300 new papercut bugs reported each release as probably half will either not qualify, be duplicates, or just as hard to fix as the above bugs. So in order to be able to fix 100 bugs we simply need a larger number of bugs tagged as papercuts.
- Why do you contribute to the papercuts project?
I'm a developer that likes fixing the odd bug bug dont have a large amount of time to contribute. I find papercuts maximise what I can give back in that short amount of time, also I like being able to easily contribute to multiple projects.
- Are you satisfied with the current state of the papercuts project
No, As I said above there needs to be more bugs tagged as papercuts I would like papercuts to expand to easyhacks (see LibreOffice easy hacks http:// wiki.documentfo undation. org/Development /Easy_Hacks) bugs that can be fixed easily by developers not just user interface stuff like is currently targeted by papercuts.
- Do you think you will continue to contribute?
I would love to but I find it hard to target easy things to work on in my limited spare time.
I hope this insight is useful and I'm happy to answer any questions.
