I have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to gather some thoughts with the group. I have been wondering what we can do to help make Ubuntu better. Even though I have only been using Linux seriously since April of 2007, I have somewhat forgotten what it is like to start with Linux. My background has been Unix so Linux was not a hard transition for me. However, we all have different backgrounds and interests and I would like to know what you think we as a community could do to make this better.
Being a programmer and spending most of my time in the networking category, I can see that we could do a better job in pointing people to some good documentation in wireless. I would also be nice to be able to develop some kind of "wizard" to help the new person figure out how to install something.
I would think that it would be nice to be able to have some configuration tools that are not necessarily Terminal based. There are some advantages to using the Terminal, but to make this a user friendly operating system, some graphical tools would be nice. The question that I have is what kind of configuration tools do you think we need?
Another thought is that we have some kind of transition document that will help a new person transition from Windows to Linux. It could be anything like how to transition from Photoshop to GIMP and things like that.
What thoughts do you all have about this? What areas do you think that Ubuntu/Linux can improve? I think that we are interested in doing in making Ubuntu better because we are communicating in the Wisconsin Team so I would like to see what your thoughts are and see if there are things that we can do as a group to make it happen. We can't let the Ubuntu developers have all the fun!
