Brilliant Brainstorms is a weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site.

Locking Nautilus, or any other file manager, to only your local drives makes fairly little sense in today’s world of the internet and cloud computing. Particularly with things like Google Docs and Flickr, it would make sense to let you upload files to these services easily, right from within Nautilus.
It seems to me that, though it may not be a particularly high priority issue, Ubuntu should at least start working towards a common dictionary for all applications. This would just be a small improvement, but it could make a big difference.
Linux is free, Linux takes relatively small amounts of resources, Linux is good on netbooks, but is Linux green? Well, it should be. In today’s environment of netbooks, battery life is important, so it should be a focus in future Ubuntu releases.
Again, this might be a a feature that would only be used by a few people, but for those few people, it might be the difference between being able to use Linux and not being able to. Perhaps this should not be high priority, but it should be done, at least eventually.
Does “reviewing” other distributions’ work sound like copying? Well, it may sound like it, but it only is copying in the proprietary world. The whole point of open-source is sharing, so going through other improvements is just a good idea that can push all Linux distributions forward.
