Request for comments: Laptop improvements

[Phil Knirsch]

Hello everyone!

First i'd like to apologize for the wide distribution, but i'd like to 
get as much input for this project as possible.

So, whats this all about? Simple. I've recently took it upon me to start 
working on improving how our distro works on latops. This includes 
things like suspend/hibernate and resume, docking stations and 
powersaving just to name a few.

Now, what i would like to ask of you is to give me some input on what 
you think might be something where we could do better on laptops. So if 
you could spare a few minutes and write me a short email with the 
thoughts you have that would be greately appreciated.

2 things to keep in mind though:

1) Be as precise and detailed as possible. Emails like: "I want the to 
work better" won't really help a lot.

2) Be serious and realistic about your ideas. Things like "I want them 
to cook coffee for me" might be something nice (and actually, some 
models already at least can keep coffee warm for you) but neither 
realistic nor serious.

I'll collect and summarize all the info i get and will put it on the 
Fedora Project page i've already set up for it (it's actually a SIG, but 
thats just semantics).

Also, we'll be prioritizing the ideas that come in and try to work our 
way through them, so don't expect every idea to appear soonish in the 
distro.

If you want to get actively involved you can always look here at what 
currently needs to be done (or even become a member yourself):

or alternatively just join the Fedora laptop mailing list:

I'm looking forward to get some feedback,

Thank you very much,

Read ya, Phil
