Hello all,<br><br>I am a GSOC 2010 aspirant and have a project idea
regarding Ubuntu development. I am writing this hoping that SOC mentors
shall give me some feedback on the genuineness of the idea. <br>Well
many end users of Linux still stick to the(I would rather say they love
to) GUI as offered by gnome. But to every GUI app there is always an
equivalent terminal app too, like for Rythmbox we have "cmus", for
Network Manager we have system-config-network-tui. Similarly we do have
alternatives for games. Thus the idea is to develop a port for every or
many popular gnome apps so that users who may experience any problems
in the GUI or just are intrigued to use terminal may click on the icon
and open up the corresponding terminal app e.g on the Title bar of
Rhythmbox we may have a small icon representing the terminal and as
soon as the user clicks on it, Rhythmbox closes and "gnome-terminal"
opens up with cmus running on it. That's all for the idea.<br clear="all">
<br>Any suggestion or opinion is welcome.<br><br>Thank You.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Abhishek Sharma <br>B-Tech Information Technology<br>Indian Institute of Information Technology(Amethi Campus)<br>
