All of the workflow should happen inside one, morphing window. Instead of popping up multiple sequential dialog boxes, just keep it in one smooth flow. I love that, much smoother, with less clutter. It also commits a user to the process, verses he or she cancelling because this is taking

Make it cool, give them something for free. How about on first login: In order to make the Ubuntu experience complete, we'd like to offer you 2 gigs of online storage. This storage can be accessed from any Ubuntu machine, and is completely free. May we sign you up? User clicks yes.

Greetings, Excuse me if this has already been addressed elsewhere. I, a pretty standard user, recently did a rather sloppy upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic (partially to see if I could handle it, partially because I'm lazy and I had a complete backup). My laptop had some pretty out of the ordinary

It's a damn good question! In general, the meme of desktop apps talking natively to LP is very cool. We want the Software Center to be able to automatically add PPA's you're subscribed to, for example. The Ubuntu One guys should be delivering an API which lets an app get credentials in LP

Poking around at leonov.tv I believe what we would require from Leonov would be very small in terms of the scope of his original project. The other point is that Mark did say an API would be coming out. Leonov was around even before Launchpad's open-sourcing, correct? The Ubuntu One guys
