Hi all,
But I guess there are other ideas people would like to work on, right? I hope so, you bl**** marketing guy - you know developers hate these questions, right ;-)) ? But no, you're right, bringing that up now.
If you plan to work on something cool, say it. or better, add it to openFATE. Please, people, remember that openFATE should not be a useless "here is your free wish" tool but a collaboration platform where we collect ideas, discuss them, combine them to useful stuff, specify
/me who is annoyed that every ubuntu beta fart without any noteworthy feature still gets a dedicated article on his favorite dutch IT news site while a final openSUSE release doesn't get the slightest mention :(
Often we hear that argument "what can be a good feature for a distribution? People want just something stable to work with, thats all." That thinking is poison, even though its of course true that people want that. But what is "working with a distribution"? From a users perspective its doing all-day stuff like mail, writing, coding, blogging etc. The distro is a tool for that if we look from that perspective. But tools can be improved to help doing the job better, easier, quicker, in a nicer environment. Or a more secure environment. So I like to support Jos in this: we now have the time to think a bit more high level about if there are peaces that would make our distro even more useful, which make it even more convenient, efficient or secure to work with, which adds a missing block which makes my life in front of the computer easier. I just added feature #312205 "Provide anonymous web surfing [easy]" to openFATE as I think thats one of those. Having that would make our distribution more useful and as a result more attractive to users. And things like that can help making a difference. them with technical details and finally, find together to work on them. It can be a used to enroll an idea to find and excite other people to contribute to it. pah!
