Brainstorm

SOFTWARE VERSION:
Maemo 5

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. setup an alarm clock to ring at a pre-determined time
2. wait for that time for the alarm to go off
3. press the "snooze" button

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
the fact an alarm is in progress (although silenced) should be easily visible.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
the alarm popup disappears, the alarm application is not left in the background
and the home screen does not show anything different to any other time.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

Almost every other alarm clock I've ever had uses 'snooze' as a silencer but
leaves the alarm in progress. This makes it easy to stop a snoozed alarm, even
with sleepy eyes! At present, it takes 4-5 clicks to stop a snoozed alarm, when
it should probably only need a single finger push.

Firmware updates can bring users benefits but also risks. An update can bring new functionality, but it can also disable existing functionality. The update process itself can go wrong and crash the device. Users need to be able to make informed choices about whether an update is worthwhile, but at present, the information needed for an informed choice is not easily available to end users.

Specifically, firmware updates come without changelogs. The only way to find out what's in an update is to read about other people's experiences, which can require wading through long discussion threads on talk.maemo.org.

The Skype implementation on n900 is very feature weak. There have been a number of suggestions of ways it could be improved. This brainstorm is to collate them all in one place to make a feature-rich Skype experience.

As discussed on this page I as part of the community do not see the technical benefit of switching to RPM. As this switch means rebasing to a completely different distribution and by this basically throwing the experience away that was gained during the last 5 years.

the tactile touchscreen feedback is not communicating any information to the user other than if the user tapped the screen or not. Discuss if there could be ways that the tactile feedback be more useful to the user
