OK, I have an idea that's been collecting the metaphorical dust for many a month. In a nutshell, the current "Open or Save?" dialogs in web browsers that they show when encountering a non-web file are terrible; how can I choose if I want to keep the file before I even see it? And why the hell can'

The first one that comes to mind is presentation software (like Ease, but obviously more mature). Another idea that has been floating around in my mind is an elementary HIG'd audio session manager (check out Gladish, Claudia, Non Session Manager for an example of what this is) that would stres

Hi everyone, It turns out that one of the reasons we weren't accepted for GSOC last year was the lack of quality ideas. It seems then that projects for GSOC should be 3 months of work. Maybe for one of us (the regular developers) they'd be 1 month of work, but they should be 3 months of work for a

I'll admit that I'm not too sure if the user would want to donate before actually trying out the CD; the logic there seems a bit flawed. If AppCenter is really going to be used in Isis, perhaps an in-app payment system could be implemented, featuring elementary merchandise and options to donate

Oh yea, I think it's a great model. My main point with it is that the flow is not optimal for how I think most people download/pay. I first want to try the software and then pay. But the website tries to put this in one action. The other day someone on IRC joined specifically to ask if they could

We hope it'll pay for the team too!  There's not quite enough coming in to pay a salary but we're getting close.  For now, it does pay for our hosting costs (we used to have ads), it pays to put bounties on bug reports (check BountySource), it has paid for travel expenses, it's allows us to pu
