Yeah, I agree; it's too slow right now, but it's the only way I've found to host some kind of ideastorm. The difference with e-mails is that ideas get votes, which helps to find out what users really want: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ Also, the main action to do in this system should be "vote", that's the action that should be fast. > - Although enforcing a minimum structure of "idea" description is a good > thing to do, I found the current structure presented by that web page > lacks focus.

Indeed, that's one issue, but also, it needs a large inflow of votes, and when popular ideas are identified, then it needs people to actually implement them. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
