NateWmpt: ping13:08
mpthello NateW13:09
NateWmpt: Just have a simple question about the 12.04 cycle. AFAIK it will be focusing a bit more on power users correct? If so, will the tool Jono was talking about be worked on?13:10
NateWI think it's called the Kitchen Sink, or something like that.13:10
NateWAh, here it is: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/05/19/building-the-kitchen-sink/13:10
mptNateW, the answer to your first question is I don't know, but any focus identified at the beginning of the cycle usually doesn't pan out13:11
mptNateW, as for the second question, I had not heard of this Kitchen Sink before :-)13:11
NateWmpt: Fair enough. The reason for me asking, is personally I love Unity, but I think the problem most people have with it, isn't features that it's lacking, but missing the configurability we used to have back with gnome 2.x. I really think a tool like that would really benefit the release.13:13
NateWmpt: So if there was a better way to configure with more options, I think it would make more people adopt the idea. (Such as globalmenu options, launcher placement, etc.)13:14
mptNateW, CCSM and MyUnity already let you configure Unity13:15
mpthttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/myunity-is-a-small-simple-unity-tweaking-tool/13:15
NateWmpt: sure, but none are included as default =/13:15
NateWmpt: which isn't much of a problem for me, as it would be for new users.13:16
mptNateW, of course, anything included by default should be integrated properly, i.e. part of System Settings, not a separate tool.13:16
NateWmpt: exactly why I was asking. It'd be nice to have it built in.13:16
mptNateW, I'm not really involved in Unity, so I'm not the person to ask about how much configurability will be built in13:19
NateWmpt: Who would be the one to talk to about this?13:20
mptNateW, try JohnLea or christiangiordano13:20
NateWmpt: Sure, thanks.13:20
NateWmpt: are the usually on here, or another channel?13:20
mptNateW, JohnLea was here yesterday. I don't know if Christian frequents this channel yet.13:21
NateWmpt: Would email be best? or another form of communication?13:22
mptNateW, Christian is on the ayatana@ list.13:23
mainerrorThere is also #ubuntu-power-users for questions regarding configuration tools and stuff like that.13:24

mainerrorAlright. Looks like I'll need your help on this one.22:20
mainerrorhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/80864/why-doesnt-inkscape-recognize-the-ubuntu-color-palettes22:20
mainerrorAlso, I added this awesome webapp to our resources page. http://colorschemedesigner.com/22:28
mainerrorYou can even simulate different types of colorblindness and it has a nice export function which can export the palettes to the GIMP format.22:29
AlanBellthat is kind of nice22:30
mainerrorOh wow! I didn't notice the preview function. Awesome!22:32
AlanBellthe page examples?22:32
AlanBellpretty cool22:33
AlanBelland it can export a gimp palette22:34
AlanBellwhich I think works in inkscape too22:34
mainerrorIndeed.22:36
mainerrorToo bad he didn't release the source code of the latest version.22:38
mainerrorOh yea, I forgot. We have our own Stack Exchange site for User Experience questions. http://ux.stackexchange.com/23:10
mainerrorSame goes for graphic design but it is still in public beta. You can ask and answer questions as you'd do on Ask Ubuntu though. http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/23:11
