Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Idea about Ideas

Hi :)

I found Ubuntu Brainstorm very dis-satisfying.  The main problem with it (imo) 
is that the first few pages are all old ideas that have received a lot of 
votes.  


If the first page had the most easily viable ideas along with the most 
innovative and interesting ideas then it would work a lot better.  The problem 
is how could that be automated??

Also the Ubuntu Brainstorming requires a moderator to decide whether or not any 
new idea makes it to the list at all.  I feel that contravenes the OpenSource 
philosophy.  Although it makes "common sense" that all things should be 
moderated we keep repeatedly finding that being more Open works better because 
people almost always start to take responsibility even if they start out in a 
way that embarrasses themselves later.  


I have not tried GetSatisfaction or Blueprint so i can't comment.  Bugzilla 
seems fine even tho it looks a little dated nowadays it does the job very well 
imo.
Regards from
Tom :)

OK;

After reading the brainstorm document, a couple of observations:

1) Ubuntu Brainstorm:  Please consider the differences in layout between 
Ubuntu's Brainstorm and Getsatisfaction's Ideas page for Mozilla Messaging.  I 
don't know about everyone else, but I find Getsatisfaction's UI much easier to 
digest on any regular basis.  As a result, the UX is more pleasant and I end up 
participating there more regularly.

http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/ideas/popular

2) Launchpad Blueprint:  Of the two projects on Launchpad that I've referenced, 
one doesn't use blueprint, the other uses it for tracking bugs (or feature sets 
listed as bugs).   In other words, I'm not sure what the value proposition is in 
using Blueprint.  I do use Bugzilla, however, to track issues which are 
important for us and I find it very easy to do so.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/index.cgi

Thank you very much to the entire LibreOffice community for your time and 
efforts.  Best wishes to you & yours over the Holidays.
