(And doing hobby projects on time; university is hard).

Having said that, the only group this has a potentially negative impact on is the translation team, since all the feedback has kicked off more string changes than were originally going to happen. Hopefully they won’t mind too much, although I do feel kinda bad because it harkens back to the messy timing this had for Karmic.

Just a thought. These slides contain a lot of useful, fast information for a new user. I suggest to let the user to watch again these slides after installation.
This could be done by adding:
- slides in the Examples directory (if it still exists in Lucid),
- a slides.html file on desktop,
- a section in the Help, like “Slides for a quick start”,
- showing a notification at the first launch, “You can watch again the installation slides by doing…”
In this second version, after installation, I’d also add at the bottom of each slide the path to quickly find a program (Applications>Audio>Rhythmbox), like it is yet done in Help. http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2363/firefoxw.png

1. On the welcome screen the third bullet point is strangely worded. The last sentence of the last bullet starts with ‘So’ as if it followed from the previous sentence(s), but it doesn’t. It’s just poorly worded in general. They could use the Welcome slide to be market Ubuntu as a “cutting edge, powerful and flexible” OS.

2. The Firefox slide should use the Firefox logo. I imagine they’ll add this later.

3. The Evolution slide should specify that it’s a full-featured PIM with, not just a calendar and email client, but also task manager, etc. and good integration between these components.

4. The Empathy slide might say something about the ability to *video* chat.

5. The Office slide says that you can create *letters* (for Writer), spreadsheets (for Calc), etc. But instead of ‘letters’, they should use the more general ‘documents’.

Shouldn’t be a problem to just ship an officially sanctioned Mozilla Firefox icon now, though; they specifically permit its use for a document promoting it, which this, err, can be :)

The software centre is considerably more awesome now, so it shouldn’t be hard to put useful stuff there. (It would be nice if there was and EASY web service specifically to request that a specific piece of software be packaged, though. Hmmm…).

The story with the scrolling problem is that the new look made the scrolling transition completely nonsensical at the top, so I needed to disable it for the title and icon. The quickest possible fix was to add the position:fixed property for both of them.

It’s a terrible, terrible thing to do, but it actually wouldn’t hurt in the end since the thing expects to be inside an 816x500px Webkit Webview, so no scrolling should happen. Still, I would be deeply upset with myself if it shipped with such a hack :b

… apart from some of the icons not aligned properly, but no doubt this will be fixed.

Awesome!
