Describing interfaces using text only can be very difficult  
Written by dpolivaev the 11 Jun 09 at 16:07. New
Communicating of a new idea can be difficult if one can use only words. Particularly if change of user interface is proposed, the best possible way to communicate the idea and to describe possible solutions is making a picture and embedding it into the idea rationale or into solution description.

Solution #1: Upload image files and insert them into IdeaTorrent pages
Written by dpolivaev the 11 Jun 09 at 16:07.
One picture tells more than thousand words.

Therefore it should be possible to upload graphical image files to IdeaTorrent like it works for the most wiki applications.

It should be possible to insert images on the pages with idea descriptions.

Typing out links to bugs and ideas is tedious  
Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 07:02. New
Currently the only way to create links to other Brainstorm Ideas is to manually create "a href=" HTML tags. This is tedious.

Solution #1: "Idea #1234" should be presented as a link, like bug trackers
Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 07:02.
If I type something like "Idea 1234" or "idea #1234" or "idea:1234" in a comment on Brainstorm, it should automatically become a link to that idea: Idea 1234

This would be exactly the same as in bug trackers like Bugzilla where "Bug 1234" becomes a link. "Bug 1234" should work, too, for that matter.

Launchpad or Bugzilla already have nice regexes that could be used for this, I'm sure.

Support for MySQL  
Written by healthyelijah@gmail.com the 29 Mar 09 at 05:49. New
It would be nice to choose between MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Developer comments
Seems this is the most asked feature!
Guess what? This will be implemented for the next 2.0 version!

Idea Notifications  
Written by peterro the 13 Apr 09 at 20:51. New
With our use model, the moderators who will be watching their assigned categories are likely not familiar with RSS subscriptions. Explaining how RSS works generates blank stares.

Solution #1: Email Notifications
Written by peterro the 13 Apr 09 at 20:51.
I'd like to have the ability to configure notifications for new and/or changed ideas to be sent to assigned email addresses. Even something as simple as a note that says you have new ideas to moderate.

I'd like it to be a list so that multiple addresses can be used for any individual category. Each category would be configured individually. The current configuration should be displayed on the category page so it is easy to spot (on one page) any categories that are/aren't configured correctly.

It might also be useful to have a configuration in much the same way that would cover all new/changed submissions. Of course you'd want this to be optional.

I think RSS by default and email optional.

Solution #2: Poster notifications
Written by peterro the 2 Jun 09 at 19:44.
Much like notifications for category subscribers, a user notification for changes to ideas they've submitted or updates to ideas where they've commented. This would be much like email notifications to forum posts that I've received in the past.

The message would say something like 'there have been comments or new solutions posted to your idea, you won't receive any further notifications until you review the current updates'.

The users of our environment likely won't be closely following ideas through their life cycle, but would want to be notified when there are updates.

This should be configurable per user.

Solution #3: Favorites for Categories
Written by eckes the 16 Nov 09 at 10:08.
You could allow E-Mail notifications for changes to Favorites (starred) entries. If you then add the ability to star categories, the email notes will come in automatically. (Some filtering is probably needed)
