Went through some of the interesting ones:

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/138/
Filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435402

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/95/
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBluetooth

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2/
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFingerprint

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/84/
Easy to add, file a bug against gnome-settings-daemon if you're bothered

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/111/
Needs upstream approval/discussions

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/204/
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RandrSupport given the right
support for the video card chipset

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/161/
This is ongoing. HAL support in X should make this easier for us in
Fedora 9.

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/82/
Not really an idea, but GPS integration is planned for GNOME (see the
geoclue project), and hardware support for the Bluetooth ones as above

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/179/
Already planned in GNOME Scan, not sure about the status

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/208/
That's already something people want to work on in GNOME, there's a lot
of discussion on how this should integrate with the online desktop, etc.
See the GNOME bugzilla (about-me lives in the control-center)

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/168/
Same reason ndiswrapper isn't in Fedora, pretty much, although it lives
in user-space.

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/174/
The drivers seem to be done by linuxtv people, so it's only a matter of
time (from our POV) before they show up in the upstream kernel

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/185/
That was already rejected by upstream

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/76/
Already in development:
http://blogs.gnome.org/cneumair/2008/02/17/new-column-wise-nautilus-view-user-data-backup-replay/

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/241/
Google Calendar integration got worked on for last year's SoC for GNOME
I'm pretty sure CalDav and other such protocols are being worked on
upstream

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1/
Hard one because all the solutions seem to have been half-finished
before. Didn't we have this as a Fedora SoC as well?

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/80/
We don't have as much of a problem as we have sub-menus for those, but
it's on-going work upstream and for us.

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28/
Yes please. OpenSync sucks, and I'm tip-toeing
Conduit/gnome-phone-manager integration for F10, for a small part of
that puzzle.

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/240/
Applications can provide this if they want/need it, file bugs against
specific applications

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/120/
Agreed it's a good idea, but this btnx is far from being the right
solution. See also:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140279
Should be easier to fix with the HAL support in the X server

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/129/
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519438

- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/132/
Bugs should be filed against applications that should have joypad
support but don't (gnome-games!)
