John,
FWIW I like the concept. Sort of like the Global Ideas Bank (http://
globalideasbank.org/) but geekier and not so lofty. Definitely bump
up the contrast and also spread the word - you'll need plenty of
(hopefully) good ideas to bootstrap a system like this :)
Good luck, and maybe I'll enter one or two of my own

Hmm. I have too many ideas of my own?

Ditto.
I thought about this a little.
What if I had a site of Ruby software I had written and posted a link
for that? Would you tell me that you already write Ruby software and
can create your own, so there is no reason to discuss it?
Why should a site about ideas be any different?
If you posted a site and asked for feedback, I would take the time to
look at it. If I felt my feedback (if I had any) was worthwhile I
would
take the time to respond. I was surprised by no feedback and wondered
if there was a reason. It turns out that there may well have been and
I wanted to know.
There appear to be some software ideas, but others are not even
tangential.
I agree, this is no good. If nothing else, you need an easily
findable list of categories, and your ideas should be
topoligically sorted. Specifically, if you have ideas that are
specific to development with Ruby (that is what this list is
about!), this link would be especially appropriate.
I did have categories on the site. I removed them to make the
interface simpler. I think I will add them back based on this
feedback.
When you are starting something new you have to reach out. I
apologise if this was so off-topic that I offended anyone. It's not
like I am selling something and I do live locally and am interested
in Ruby.
If you know of somewhere more appropriate I could post then I
would love to hear about it. Personally, from the 2 people who
responded, I am happy to get feedback from other people who
have lots of ideas. It's a good reality check.
And, FWIW, I find "Black/Grey On Light-Purple On White" kind of
hard to read...not enough contrast or something.
Thankyou. It seems that different monitor/browser combinations
show the colors differently. I should try to find something more
consistent.
Again, I am sorry if my post was inappropriate.
John.
