In general I have found Gnome to operate exactly in the manner that I
would expect it too. For instance, unlike Windows, a dialog in one
program does not prevent the use of other programs. However, there are
nevertheless some shortcomings. One of the biggest is the Gnome Menu.
There is no built-in

As Ubuntu becomes more and more popular, the resources we use to
communicate within our community become saturated with the sounds made
by new and learning users. This is not a new thing, nor is it
undesirable, but unless we find ways to deal with the increasing
background noise, we have a real cha

Hello Onno,
Your post is very well written and some of the projects beeing worked on
in the community space are set up to deal with some of the issues you

Coincidentally, Bryce recently posted a couple of blog posts dealing with
"Me too" storms on launchpad [1]+[2] which are related.
I don't claim to be an expert on this, but as I see it the problem comes
down to channels. Various channels of communication can hold different
numbers of active partic

The Ubuntu community is growing, and as Evan mentioned, our current
channels of communication can only support a finite rate of messages.
So there are only two possible solutions: increase the supply of

With the spanky new Jaunty notifications in place for commonplace items such
as IM messages, I have found it rather disappointing that we've actually
*lost* the "safe to remove media" notifications that I came to love and wait
patiently for under prior versions of Ubuntu.
