Hi,
I have some thoughts about a possible feature that can be added to unity.
it's the ability to suggest applications to the user for a specific
hardware he has or when he connects it to the system.
Scenarios:
1. A user connect a webcam : Suggest using cheese
2. A user connect a digitizer : Suggest using Gimp/Inkscape and may
open a tutorial of how modifying parameters or using the hardware
there.
3. If a multitouch device is detected, an icon is added (or an
existant one animates or blinks) and when clicked/hovered it opens the
Software center with applications suggestion.
This feature needs to detect the user hardware capabilities and
suggest according to that.
It is also very related to this Software Center 'bug':
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/674633
it still an idea, so what you think about it ?
