My wish list for Jolicloud Beta, the easysimple OS for netbooks


So, Jolicloud in its Alpha2c version is here, working smoothly with just minor problems and for an alpha, I must say, is a success !


But, now, I am sure that Tariq Krim and his team have more, much more to show us.
So here is my wish list, hoping that a few of those requests will be available anytime soon in the new Beta of Jolicloud.

What I want to see in the Jolicloud beta, the easysimple Os for Netbooks.

1) I want to have multiple windows/applis opened at the same time on my netbok screen

It is possible with an XP on my Dell mini 9 netbook. (see capture)
Ok the screen is small, but what if I want to follow a game score and, at the same time, check a Twitter search on Jolicloud ? If XP can do change sizes of windows, I want it also on JoliCloud !

2) I want to be able to install mach more applis without waiting for Jolicloud to prepare them for me? (see first capture over there)
How can I bypass this lock ? Is it safe ?

3) I do not want to have a double icon on the top menu bar (when I open an appli)

4) I want a new MyJolicloud user interface with beatiful settings, drag/drop, widgets, favorites ... (I am used to Netvibes, now ;-) ) and no more an Ubuntu NR ui.

5) I want more information from Jolicloud on confidentiality and private data storage.

6) I want Jolicloud to open my netbook directly on the new MyJolicloud Homepage (or any other appli/page of my choice)

7) I want the Social Side of Jolicloud (yet to come) to be configurable by me with my preferred sites (twitter/likedin/facebook/gmail...) and not another proprietary closed service.

8) I want to be able, in the future, to use Jolicloud on other devices than netbooks

9) I want Jolicloud to be "really" touchscreen compliant (with setting for icon sizes and rest).

10) I want Jolicloud to be a huge success ;-)



Do you have other points to add ? => comments ;-)

  1. To answer your wish #2 - you can already create your own web apps by using Prism (which is already installed in the OS). Its real easy. I do it all the time.

  2. You are right, and I wrote a post about it ;-) http://jolicloudexperience.blogspot.com/2009/08/tip-how-to-add-web-appli-to-your.html
    But, it is not a 1 click option, like in FireFox and XP with the add-on. So, I want it here on Jolicloud ;-)
