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.

Hiding the votes would protect further voters from influencing their choice to get a more accurate result.

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.

I think that normal users should be able to see the sandbox. If they find an idea in there that they like, they may keep returning to check if that specific idea has been approved so they can vote on it. I just think it allows ideas to be better advertised. Chances are more users will contribute to ideas if they can see it as soon as it is submitted.

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.

Notepad++ An option to allow the toolbar to break into two or more rows depending on the window size so that all options in the toolbar are visible.

Maybe even let the user create several custom toolbars that can be stacked on each other.

You can call it QuestionTorrent and it can be basically the same application, except instead of submitting, ranking and implementing ideas, it would be about asking, answering and rating questions. I would love to have this for my online community.

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)

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.

This should be implemented in the comments section and rational/solution description. Most forums have this feature, IdeaTorrent should have it too.

If you don't know what I am talking about have a look at posting on forums, like the ubuntu forums. When you post you have options above the text box to add links, images and format text (bold, lists, 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.

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.)

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.

The simplest solution I can think of is to have a checkbox next to the comment box that alerts the moderator team (via rss/e-mail/special page/whatever) that there is something in that comment that the moderators should read.

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 ?
