This is the page for users to contribute ideas to Ubuntu Studio. The page will continually be updated. We will comment on things as much as possible. Give ideas a Yes/No vote.

Ideas

• please check at https://launchpad.net/projects/ or https://staging.launchpad.net and register projects/packages there as well.

• Jigdo download so users don't have to get the whole image, just the bits missing from a "regular" feisty image.
  • This will happen for Hardy. -C.Kontros
• A Specific "team" for each part of ubuntu-studio i.e. Audio team, Video Team, and Graphics team. This way, users with the same interests can get together and work to develop specific parts of ubuntu-studio

  • I'm not sure what benefit this would provide. Please take this idea to the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel ML]. -C.Kontros

• Wiki pages for getting started, tutorials, best practices, walk-throughs, troubleshooting, etc. I think the biggest stumbling block is how to get started for new users. There should be detailed info about jack, how jack connects to ardour, how to use ladspa plugins, how to use soft instruments with ardour, etc....

  • There is already a place for this. [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio HERE] It's up to everyone to develop the documentation. -C.Kontros
