I think the proposal addresses more than a usability problem, I think it was put forth also to capitalize on a perception opportunity. In other words, perhaps having a "place" to go is something that users think is rather cool. We have such a place, but we don't position it as such. Does this change anyone's thoughts regarding the proposal? Cheers, Rick -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
