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.

Write code for the essential parts the program does not already have including those which perform database connections, etc...anything that Drupal does that IdeaTorrent needs.

If it's not broken, don't fix it. Recoding what Drupal already does is just a waste of time.

In fact, other Drupal modules should be leveraged to make Idea Torrent more robust such as VotingAPI.

If for no other reason, do you really want to create your own theming engine?

Use Drupal as the core, but make it appear within a single region, with that region being the only thing visible on the page.

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.

Just the currently implemented classes on this ideatorrent are 'popular', 'ideas in development', and 'implemented ideas'. This would create a new class called 'tabled ideas'. This would be to weed out ideas that won't be implemented for whatever reason but not just delete them. The ideas could then be moved back out into the regular population at some future point as well.

Place it in a section called Ideatorrent. You can just click on a link in the admin panel under that section. Hope this makes it easier to manage.

While the end result of not saving unauthenticated votes is correct, it can be confusing to users who see their votes applied but then removed if they return to the same 'idea'.

Possibly either don't allow unauthenticated voting at all (preferred) and/or warn unauthenticated users that their votes won't count.

I'd like to see a simple way of pulling out metric information from the submitted ideas/solutions. Be able to create/save reports (possibly system wide and user based), automate the reports with scheduled times and email results. The numeric reports would be delimited for ease of creating graphs (or create graphs directly). The text reports would be simple lists with links embedded to take you directly to the problem statement/solution.

Some default reports that would be nice to have:

Number of solutions submitted per category within a date range.
Number of solutions submitted total within a date range.
Solution report that shows problem statement title and its associated solution titles with time and category constraint options.
Hot topic report. Based on discussion activity and not necessarily voting.
Active user reports within date range or all time. Probably containing counts of comments, votes, ideas, and solutions.

That's all I'm coming up with now, possibly others will have some.

What has made WordPress and Firefox so great? A lot of things, but one important thing they have in common in support for plugins.

When specifying a category of idea, the RSS feed should change to list entries only that category. It is currently grabbing all in the sandbox or popular or the rest.

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.

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.

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)

(Nothing works in these solution boxes either, except links. Italics, bold, blockquote and other tags do not work.
