The Ubuntu Brainstorm website came about a little over six months ago.
It was some code sat on top of drupal cms. Not much of drupal itself
was used, mainly just the authentication and rendering bit. People
called for the brainstorm code to be opened up so others could setup
these ideastorm type sites. So yes, it looks like you're sharing the
same/similar code base as Ubuntu brainstorm.

I've been helping moderate the site since near the start, and we have
found it a surprisingly popular way of gathering ideas from people.
Whilst we already have infrastructure for submitting bugs
(http://launchpad.net/), brainstorm users a real easy way to express
what they'd like to see changed/improved/removed from Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Al.
