Hi Daniel!, welcome =) > > The BrainStorm idea is a good one, but it closely resembles the > gentoo forums and perhaps a bit like the gentoo wiki > too... Heck... if you squint a bit and don't look real close, > brainstorm looks a bit like the gentoo bugs site too. > Sure Jerry, it's not all that different from the forum or bugzilla but it's somehow more "accesible". I consider the brainstorm site it more like a "shortcut" than a brand-new never-seen idea. You may use any of the other (wiki, bugs, forum) to do this but it's not as visible as a exclusive site. The real question may be, does it need so much attention? I think so, because new ideas and a closer relationship between the ideas proposed and the users are very important. > Probably a good place for this to land is in the wiki...

I'm trying to get in touch with the ubuntu guys that run the site to learn from their mistakes ;) I'll let you know of any progress on this.
