I'm in agreement with Alexandru - Launchpad is certainly not an effective place for new ( or even longtime ) users to submit ideas and wishlist bugs. The interface can be pretty intimidating and whatnot. However, having the data ON launchpad is the best place for it - developers can actually triage and track progress, and users can be easily pulled into testing features via a PPA.
Wouldn't it make sense to build a quick application using the Launchpad API that effectively used wishlist bugs as it's persistent storage? Seems fairly straightforward: - Creating an idea creates a wishlist bug. - Upvotes = "This bug affects me" - Comments would obviously translate to comments... Looking through the Launchpad API ( https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html ) it seems like it would be possible. The obvious benefit being that the traffic for each feeds the other - creating a nice feedback loop without developers or users having to go anywhere they're not used to.
