Hi,

The current state of brainstorm.ubuntu.com is due to it being neglected (just look at that brown colour we ditched 4 years ago) and not being promoted enough. Can't remember the last time I saw an URL pointing to this project or heard someone talking about it.

For some people, Launchpad is a scary place and avoid using it. The truth is that a huge list of bugs with technical names is intimidating.

We need a place where non-tech savvy people can express regarding how things work or should work. A friendly user interface, integrated with Launchpad, would be a nice thing to have.

Hi everyone,

I got a ping from the technical board before their semi-annual review
of Brainstorm ideas. There are some problems with the site, mainly:

a) It is unmaintained (As you can see from the design).
b) User interest (as indicated by the voting) is waning.
c) It seems that developer interest is waning to a point that some
developers feel that responding to the ideas isn't an ideal use of
time.
d) Most advanced users know how to contact developers and file
wishlist bugs with the software affected directly and use those means
instead.

A cursory scan of the incoming ideas over the last 30 days seem just
like wishlist bug reports, thoughts?


I don't think it plays too useful a role in the community and in fact
I think wishlist bugs are more appropriate.
