Hi,
at the booth on the LinuxTag I have asked users to write down what for
them is missing or has to made better on the Linux desktop and I have
put their answers onto the booth wall. Unfortunately not many visitors
participated, but here are the answers (translated from german to english):
- Unique fonts on all distros: A core set of fonts should be absolutely
identical on all distros. These fonts should be default
- Unique Linux portal and central support (similar to linuxprinting.org
for printing)
- Simple access to Blootooth devices, use of available Bluetooth
services by a GUI
- PCs with Linux pre-installed
- Outlook replacement "better" than evolution:
o Group calendar
o Connection to Exchange
o Repeatedly happening appointements (weekly meetings, ...)
o Different SMTP mail send servers for each POP3/IMAP4 account
- Unique dialogs
- Installation of 3rd-party software too complicated (Java, Acrobat,
drivers)
- Support for mobile professionals: WLAN, telco-Boards, integration with
mail, ...
- I love diversity -- Everything the same we have with M$
None of thee answers were posted more than once (probably because
visitors already read the already existing answers).
