 I mentioned Idea Torrent because I saw it in action at Ubuntu Brainstorm
 (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/), but if you know something else that works
 better than a wiki page with Crazy Ideas or Vote for Enhancement ...

For reference, here's the current state of the proposals for 'voting
for bugs' in the LO project:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Vote_for_Enhancement
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37141

The concept behind the Idea Torrent software is good, but I'm a little
concerned about the future of the codebase. It looks like the primary
dev got busy with other work 3 years ago, stopped a re-write of the
codebase, and stopped posting to the project blog. The latest stable
release is about a year older than that.

The archive link for the dev mailing list gives me a Page not found
error, the forums are overrun with spam, and there are multiple
high-importance bugs dating from 2008 that haven't been fixed.

Given the current state of the software, I'd suggest against using
this particular tool. Our existing infrastructure is already heaping
more than enough work on our existing IT team, and I'd like to seem
them focus on fixing our existing applications before introducing
anything else -- especially something as unmaintained as this.

It is the best time to get such ideas lost when you send it at release
day of a new big version.
Everybody is fixated on the release today and nearly noone of the
deciders will have any thoughts about voting in next time.
So don't be angry when you get no reaction in near time and you should
remind this in about a week or two if you get no reaction.
