IdeaTorrent

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.

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.

Users should have the option of allowing others to see the ideas that they have promoted/demoted. In each users dashboard there could be an option to show/hide ideas that he/she has promoted or demoted. I suggest that the options be independent for promoted and demoted. That way the user can choose to show one and hide the other, show both or hide both. Anonymity may promote more honesty.

Wouldn't it be nice if the interface told you how many ideas there were in the "Popular Ideas", "Ideas in development" and "Implemented Ideas" area ?

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.

It would be nice to download a working virtual machine (VirtualBox and similar) of a complete Idea Torrent server.

The virtual machine would contain the SQL server, Drupal installation, and a default Idea Torrent configuration.

This would be useful for people to quickly evaluate the software, and perhaps, even allow users to run it in production.

Add a message to the page stating what is missing and why the form was re-loaded as well as highlighting the field that was missing in some other color to be noticeable.

On the idea page (where you can see comments and add your own), show a comments section beneath each solution. The comments section starts collapsed, saying "4 comments on this solution" and possibly "add a comment". These links expand the solution's comments section, showing the comments and allowing you to add one.

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.

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

Allow users to pay a cent for a vote. This feature will obviously be optional, and can be turned off at different levels. (It's not used at all, it's used but the ideas are in a different pool from the non-commercial ones, it's used but the user controls whether or not they view commercial and non-commercial ideas together, etc.)

Each user can optionally be limited by a group setting to number of votes she has available. She can always remove votes from one idea to move them to others, or she gets them back once an idea is implemented. It is good to give 1-3 votes to an idea. A method to granting bonus votes to users is also a needed addition.

This can also be used to limit suggestions a user can make, if he always has to give at least one vote to his own initial ideas.

This may be what solution #1 was saying; it wasn't entirely clear to me.

Give users "priority votes" or something that they can use to say which problem they think is the highest priority. Each user has a limited number of priority votes as in solution #1. These votes are different from the unlimited votes you can make on solutions.

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:

XFN's identity tag can be used to declare ownership of a profile page, a rel=me link (or rel="nofollow me" to thwart spammers) back to the user's home page would declare ownership of the page. rel="me" links between sub-pages of the profile would allow all pages to become one big profile.

http://gmpg.org/xfn/11

Then provide an Atom and/or RSS feed on each user page (comments, problems, solutions, ++votes, --votes) which can be followed by visitors. Atom would be best as it has author tags.

This information could then be fed into social networking and aggregating tools like Google Buzz, Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader and so on.
