My impression was very positive - I think it's a great way for the committee
to tap into what the rest of the membership are thinking. If I could
suggest one improvement (not sure if it's possible given the software), it
would be to have two phases; a brainstorming phase followed by a voting
phase. I note that most of the top-rating ideas were ones that were posted
early on, whereas the later ones didn't get as many votes, perhaps because
not as many people saw them.
Even if that can't be done now though, I still think that the tool in its
current configuration is very useful and I'd be happy to see it used again.
Cheers,
Craig
