[01:45] <ubu-noob> Thanks to SiDi for posting my Brainstorm idea (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11375/) which I mentioned to him today on #ayatana
[01:45] <ubu-noob> The idea has gone through extensive discussion on that Brainstorm page.
[01:46] <ubu-noob> My initial thought was that the existing "Please choose a location" dialog is confusing and unnecessary.
[01:46] <ubu-noob> And that we should a) reduce the number of choices to the user, for the sake of simplicity
[01:47] <ubu-noob> while b) providing a 'view all available locations' option for experts
[01:49] <ubu-noob> I don't know how mozilla does it, but they make firefox a one-click download.
[01:50] <ubu-noob> Also, on the Brainstorm idea, the issue was brought up that the geographically-closest server is not necessarily the one that will give you the fastest download.
[01:51] <ubu-noob> Finally, I has the idea that whatever solution we find, should be made into something that can be shared by everyone, including other open source download sites, who have multiple mirrors and want to give their users the easiest way to download their software from the fastest available server.
[01:52] <ubu-noob> Maybe like a) server code and b) some kind of web widget
[01:52] <ubu-noob> combo
