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!

Donate via PayPal to up your idea

Written by thom.mp the 10 Apr 09 at 04:26. New

This will allow for all sorts of new business models in open source. You can literally buy influence over certain open source projects. So if a company really wants a certain feature, they pay the developers to implement that idea over others. This would definitely not be for every project, but for some, it would be a godsend of a revenue stream. This is a really radical idea so please discuss.

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.

Embedded Media

Written by thom.mp the 10 Apr 09 at 04:19. New

For example, so users can vote up/down possible versions of a trailer for an open-source movie.

HTML tagging ability is not obvious

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 06:55. New

I just realized that Ideatorrent allows some HTML in the comments, but I can't find any documentation. http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com provides a list of valid tags underneath their comments box, and this should be provided on Ideatorrent, too.

(I will test in the comments below this to see if the same subset of tags work. In the rationale descriptions, links and images

seem to be the only things supported. Italics, bold, blockquote.

Solution #1: Provide a list of valid HTML tags beneath each comment box

Written by endolith the 1 Apr 09 at 06:55.

http://blog.qa.ubuntu.com provides a list of valid tags underneath their comments box, and this should be provided on Brainstorm, too.

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

Images work now, too:
