Not very!

The formal way to get something added to the OS, with CSSU, is via bugs.maemo - either comment & vote on an existing bug or create a new one (and vote on it).
NB. Good bug reporting drives good development by both ironing out problems and extending the product. Therefore, the process maintains demand for a piece of software and hence the developer's/s' interest in itNB.

Errors and improvements should be in the bugzilla because they will get handled properly and they won't get hidden by other threads, newsor other community activity.

Off topic:

From the point of view of testing software, bugs can be anything where the softawre does not perform/act as expected (includes desired). This covers both malfunctions and extensions.

While brainstorming can bring ideas outinto the open, only by proper use of the bugs system can more constructive and specific feature-review take place (see how to write a bug report as to why). On the other hand, to know whether something's even a possibility, an informal discussion can prove beneficial. It has to be said that when reporting on multiple facets of a piece of software, may of which need attention, it might be more appropriate (friendly) to use TMO (or similar) to begin with. However, a formal bug report will yield better results because it is more formal and definitive.

The final results of the bug process are, AFAIK, invalid, wontfix or fixed, which are all quite clear and, assuming the dev-team are any good, reasons for not fixing are usually declared. If the bug is an extension, not a malfunction, this then gives others the opportuntity to build the desired functionality separately instead of expect it as part of the software being tested.

In short, if you want a feature or something isn't working:
1. Check the bug reports.
2. Is it there already (against this s/w)?
>> 2 == Y: Vote for it. Comment if you wish.
>> 2 == N: Create a new bug against this s/w. And, vote for it.
*Be very careful not to duplicate a bug*
- log in for the bugs server is by email address + p/w, not u/n + pw.

Aside: The longer I'm involved with this and OSS in general, it's ever clearer that active bug reporting and fixing is one of the most important aspects to a platform's/community's success.

1） thread emails, mark all as read/archive function

2 ) notification area?(is this imposibble?)

3） g+ apps

can v bring up pinch zoom and a proper portrait image gallery guys?? i think the images look absurd in portrait.. sorry if its already discussed

Re: [NEEDED] Appealing ideas for next CSSU
 

N900 does not support multitouch hence no pinch zoom afaik...
and portrait image gallery would be really nice..

Re: [NEEDED] Appealing ideas for next CSSU
 

Lock the phone after closing the display.

joerg_rw already did it (big thanks!):

It would be nice, if this behaviour could be implemented without using a separate script. Non-console-users should be able to configure this via GUI.

how about some factory restore feature for those with broken USB's that would like to clear the device before having to send it back to Nokia?

"This thread is for the developers to pick ideas for implementation.... maybe some are amazing ones, maybe some are bleak... But still we have a central repository of IDEAS."

and no developer gives a single **** about this thread..
