Brilliant Brainstorms is a (usually) weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site as well as various other Brainstorm-style sites.

Unfortunately, Live CDs will probably never be as fast as a real installation, so it would be good to warn users that the performance might be bad and that files will not be saved. This would help prevent confusion for new users who don’t understand how Live CDs work.

Even though Ubuntu Brainstorm is aimed at Ubuntu users, some non-techie Windows users may still visit in IE. Rather than scaring them off with an error message or, worse, a broken page, Ubuntu Brainstorm should work in IE, even if it is not the browser of choice for most users.

GNOME’s “Leave A Note” feature that appears when an account is locked is a good idea, but now that Ubuntu has a fancy notification system, why not take advantage of it to tell you that you have a new note waiting for you. Obviously there would have to be a way of getting to it after the notification disappeared, but it would be nice just to know that it exists.

With the abundance of WiFi networks around, it would be great to be able to assign priorities to each network. For example, my home network might be the first choice, followed by a work network, followed by the network of my favorite coffee shop.
