Hi,
some things I would love to see improved:
Network related
- vpn and dialup integration for network manager
- a gui for pairing with bluetooth devices
- a gui for setting up bluetooth and usb dialup devices (mobile phones)
for connecting to the internet
- a gui for setting up 3g networks (umts, ...) for internet access. This
could be an extension to system-config-network
Booting
- faster boot when not connected to a network; many services are
starting really slow, if the network is down
- faster boot times at all
Security
- disabling root (like ubuntu), thus forcing the user to work as a
non-root user
- some kind of backup tool, for the whole system or the users profile
and data
- Integration of clamav in Evolution and Thunderbird
- support for encryption of user data ( /home/...)
Configuration
- Ubuntu has two software installation tools. One shows the complete
repository, the other is intented for endusers. Listed are only
applications, with a rating, how well it integrates into the used gui,
... I think this is really cool. Many users are overwhelmed by that many
choices Pirut offers. Perhaps this could simply by a button in Pirut to
suppress libs or
- GUI for adding third party repositories
- GUI for managing raid configurations, Anacondo can to this, but only
at installation time. If you add a hdd after installation, you have to
use mdadm manually.
GUI
- enable Gnomes NFS browsing (network places), in F7 only smb-browsing
seems to be enabled.
- enable more than three mouse-buttons
- enhancing the gui for extended keyboards
- a GUI for laptop-related things: laptop-mode, configuration
suspend2ram or suspend2disk, power-management, ...

The desktop team has recently started to think about what things we
want
to focus on beyond F7, and what we want to improve in the Fedora 8
timeframe.
While there are no very detailed specs and commitments yet, I have put
together some preliminary information in the wiki, and I'd like to
share it with the interested public on this mailing list. Feel free
to comment and discuss. There will be some more feature descriptions
in the near future, and the ones I have begun will hopefully be fleshed
out more fully by their respective owners.
