Pjotr:<br>
<br>
I think I agree with the LibreOffice suggestion (and the "first
impression"-sentiment) but for a different reason: I think Abiword
and Gnumeric are just fine for everyday needs but I can see a lot
of users who would want to make slides "out of the box", so they
need Impress. It would be nice if those users had that capability
w/o having to install Libre. <br>
Alternatively, a button would be nice that is labelled "To install
Office Software click here" which then goes out and installs
Libre. I think many of the XP migrants we expect might be
technically capable to install Libre from the Software Center - if
they only new it existed! Since they usually don't know its there,
frustration might arise (When I started using Ubuntu/Xubuntu,
installing an app was easy once I found out there was one! the
hard part was finding it and deciding between the different
options)<br>

I think it's good if the main quality focus is on the LTS.
The short-lived intermediate versions don't interest me
much; I see them as a testbed for innovations, and not as
"work horses" that require extra attention for stability and
reliability. "Want stable? Go LTS!" is a simple message that
everyone can easily understand and approve of, I think.<br>

<div>In 14.04 LTS an important step has been made towards
modernization: the Whisker menu and the single desktop bar.
Excellent. Cool and slick. Nice artwork, beautiful deep blue
wallpaper. Radiates quality in a restrained way.<br>

<div>One thing I'd really like (ceterum censeo, as the Roman
statesman used to say), is to see Abiword and Gnumeric being
replaced by LibreOffice. It would make the default
installation so much better.... First impressions matter a
lot.<br>

<div> A lot of work has gone into QA from all sides this
cycle.<br>
<br>
What I'd like to get from replies to this mail is what <u>you</u>
thought could have been done better, what could have
happened sooner, thoughts for what we could do in the
next cycle.<br>
<br>
As an example, we're looking at Exploratory Testing
either on it's own or in conjunction with calls from us
to test areas. Simply put - use the applications you
normally do and report problems.<br>
<br>
The problem I can foresee with that is that we'd get
little testing reported without calls. <br>
<br>
Another idea I'm toying with at the moment is not
worrying so much about testing packages marked as
optional - having a different set of tests for non-LTS
releases ... <br>
<br>
Ideas people - think outside the box if you've time :)<br>
<br>
Hopefully we'll get some ideas that will make everyone's
life a bit easier during the 14.10 cycle and on<span
