Brilliant Brainstorms is a weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site.
Part of the idea of “brainstorming” is that ideas are never shot down, so it should not be possible to “kill” an idea, even if you are the creator of the idea.
While this could complicate things a little, I think that overall, having unstable drivers available to users would smooth users’ experiences by making more of their hardware (hopefully) work.
The idea is to make sure that almost every common task can be done with some defined number of clicks. This would greatly increase usability and ensure that nothing is too difficult to do.
The wallpaper for Hardy Heron looked professional and amazing and I think that it is important that Ubuntu continues to have such good themes, since it is the first thing a new user sees.

‘n’ click policy is something that should be followed implicitly by program designers already. The only problem is that the only decent HIG on Linux is the Gnome one, and not everybody follows it (kde 3 hig is a laugh; kde 4 hig isn’t even *done* yet).
Ubuntu shouldn’t be adopting such policies, and even if it does, it bound to cause more pain than good.
