Focus on stability rather than new features. 2. Good documentation 3. Posters and promo materials etc in the repositories so they can be downloaded easily as a package and accessed by users 4. If we don't have any perhaps some sort of content filtering system so we can allow people to filter unsuitable content (I know this will be controversial but if we don't it will work against us) 5. not suire if this is possible but linked to the above perhaps age ratingfs for games and again give users control so we can install games with more adult (usually blood, gore, violence) on a system but have the main (sudo account holder) choose which users can run the software, (so tight restrictions) have clear warnings about content on the software / games. If there are ratings then include these, doom for example was given a 15 rating, ok that was almost 15 years ago, but its still 15, if people choose to ignore that, then at least we cover our backs. I think this could be fairly easy to implement, the ratings can be included in software centre. 6. if we are not including synaptic make it easy to install this more 'advanced' stuff from software centre, Hope this helps if i think of anything else will reply to the above Paul -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div> +1 to all of Paul's suggestions :) -- Regards, Bill B.
