The idea was to identify some broad areas that needed to be addressed and so I devised sessions that included topics like dealing with music and photos, browsing the Internet, chatting with friends, etc.

That’s right, we’ve fixed 75 paper cuts for Lucid already! We only need to fix 25 more to reach 100, but with many important freezes occurring over the next couple weeks we need to prioritize and focus.UI freeze comes this Thursday, March 4. This means that paper cuts involving user-facing changes (e.g. labels, menus, buttons)

Karmic RetrospectiveLong story short: we fixed 76 paper cuts for Karmic. Hooray! Congratulations! For more details, see the Ubuntu wiki page.(I believe we actually reached 100, but many paper cuts were fixed without being reported or carefully tracked, and some individual paper cuts addressed multiple instances of a general of problem.)Wh

One Hundred Paper Cuts Round 7 drew to a close last week. Here are the paper cuts that were (or were not) addressed:GNOME Panel icons (on right side) move apparently randomly on session start in some situationsRyan Maki wrote a surprisingly small patch to fix this long-standing and very annoying bug with over forty duplicates.
