[10:24] <czajkowski> https://twitter.com/#!/stephenfry/status/137825613322002432  nice to stepehn fry using unity
[13:08] <NateW> mpt: ping
[13:09] <mpt> hello NateW
[13:10] <NateW> mpt: 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] <NateW> I think it's called the Kitchen Sink, or something like that.
[13:10] <NateW> Ah, here it is: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/05/19/building-the-kitchen-sink/
[13:11] <mpt> NateW, 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 out
[13:11] <mpt> NateW, as for the second question, I had not heard of this Kitchen Sink before :-)
[13:13] <NateW> mpt: 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.
[13:14] <NateW> mpt: 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.)
[13:15] <mpt> NateW, CCSM and MyUnity already let you configure Unity
[13:15] <mpt> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/myunity-is-a-small-simple-unity-tweaking-tool/
[13:15] <NateW> mpt: sure, but none are included as default =/
[13:16] <NateW> mpt: which isn't much of a problem for me, as it would be for new users.
[13:16] <mpt> NateW, of course, anything included by default should be integrated properly, i.e. part of System Settings, not a separate tool.
[13:16] <NateW> mpt: exactly why I was asking. It'd be nice to have it built in.
[13:19] <mpt> NateW, I'm not really involved in Unity, so I'm not the person to ask about how much configurability will be built in
[13:20] <NateW> mpt: Who would be the one to talk to about this?
[13:20] <mpt> NateW, try JohnLea or christiangiordano
[13:20] <NateW> mpt: Sure, thanks.
[13:20] <NateW> mpt: are the usually on here, or another channel?
[13:21] <mpt> NateW, JohnLea was here yesterday. I don't know if Christian frequents this channel yet.
[13:22] <NateW> mpt: Would email be best? or another form of communication?
[13:23] <mpt> NateW, Christian is on the ayatana@ list.
[13:24] <mainerror> There is also #ubuntu-power-users for questions regarding configuration tools and stuff like that.
[22:20] <mainerror> Alright. Looks like I'll need your help on this one.
[22:20] <mainerror> http://askubuntu.com/questions/80864/why-doesnt-inkscape-recognize-the-ubuntu-color-palettes
[22:28] <mainerror> Also, I added this awesome webapp to our resources page. http://colorschemedesigner.com/
[22:29] <mainerror> You can even simulate different types of colorblindness and it has a nice export function which can export the palettes to the GIMP format.
[22:30] <AlanBell> that is kind of nice
[22:32] <mainerror> Oh wow! I didn't notice the preview function. Awesome!
[22:32] <AlanBell> the page examples?
[22:33] <AlanBell> pretty cool
[22:34] <AlanBell> and it can export a gimp palette
[22:34] <AlanBell> which I think works in inkscape too
[22:36] <mainerror> Indeed.
[22:38] <mainerror> Too bad he didn't release the source code of the latest version.
[23:10] <mainerror> Oh yea, I forgot. We have our own Stack Exchange site for User Experience questions. http://ux.stackexchange.com/
[23:11] <mainerror> Same 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/
