Hiii, a wish list:
Classes of linux users:(simplified, please suggest changes..)
Developer: (Commited to developing Linux on long term, has pretty good
knowledge in trouble shooting, rectifying errors and development)
Enthusiast:(Contributing to the development of FLOSS part time.- an IT
student, serious enthusiast)
Non-techie: Is ready to test and use Linux, at the moment not
contributing,and cant handle errors.
Wishlist for User friendlines: ( The numbering is not based on priority.
Random order)
1) The need for simplifying the language when communicating with Non techie
class of Linux users.{Bipin kumar}
May not always possible, how would we work it out? If a person is busy, but
can provide a solution in short form, let him do it. Somebody else would be
ready to elaborate it.(this has to be notified with a 'free to elaborate'
tag(?), as some of us may feel reluctant to expand it without adding
details,taking it as an unpreferred practice in Mailing list )
2) RTF will not be used for communications to mailing list. Images will be
attached, not embedded in email.{widely supported, Hiran Venugopal, Praveen
A,Yadu Nand...}
3)Automation of the following tasks: mounting file systems.{widely
supported, Praveen, Srihari}
4) Extensive Right click menus [context menus] with the following
options:{Praveen A ....}
4a)Media operations : Format, mount, unmount
4b) File opertations Zip, unzip,
4c)Memmory release
5) Extensive support for the differentially abled {Jinesh KJ..}:
5a) text to speach
5b) Image to speach
6) Unified icons -- Image overlays and text ( A standardization :
recommended for ease of learners)
7) Extensive interactive tool tips in small, commited windows, which
recognizes context[interacting with the programme/OS]. Supported with images
, audio and video.
8) Special interpreter programme which crawls through settings files (eg:
.ini files) and displays information,Displays changeable settings in a
graphical manner.
Eg: Reads OS Boot order from grub.lst and presents the order in GUI,
settings changeable from interface.
9)A clean Linux Uninstallation program, which allows any other existing OS
to load. No MBR manipulations afterwards should be necessary

}
10) Extensive fine tuneability of the OS. {Srihari}
11) Add a training multimedia on bug reporting, with very attractive icon in
boot menu and and Desktop by default.(later be switched off)
12) Best bug reporter gets ice creams, steam engines or missiles.
13) All developers gets ( choices plees... :) )
14) Boot option includes the following options along with administrator/user
14a) I wanna try it, with all assistance (a short name for it...pls)
14b) Boot next time, discarding all changes made in current login.(let the
user twaek, but not suffer consequences)
15) Let an option be there to release possible OS/backgruond routine process
resources. for a "Game/Video reneder" mode. On single click, and return to
full fledged mode.[inspired by Game mode in antivirus softwares]
16)Constitute a platform to accumulate money, inorder to buy "user
friendliness"patents from the propreitory developers. Cant just pirate on
them and let them go to hell.they have families.
17)I recently saw an image crawler in web, which indexes only CC/GPL images.
Designing one for forum crawling would be great. i hope its already there.
17a) men should be able to rank discussions, and post consolidations.
18) Narendra Sisodaya has listed a lot of changes, in his SchoolOS project.
like Gobotype Filesystem, and more.
Praveen A has created a project page:
http://www.fosscommunity.in/wiki/If_linux_needs_to_be_adopted_by_desktop_users,_it_needs_to_be_much_more_user_friendly_%28nobody_argues%29
Consolidations will be posted to this page
Shud we restrict the discussion to the potentials of FSUG Tvm only?
