[maemo-community] Brainstorm implementation (was Re: Brainstorm: useful?)

[From: Tim Samoff]

Hi,

I wonder if the implementation of Brainstorm was just done wrong in the first place (as initially proven by how many people submitted ideas without solutions attached).

To me, it seems like Brainstorm should consist of single-level ideas/issues that can be voted upon... Then, the discussion of such ideas/issues may or may not include solutions (some half-baked, some not), which are not voted upon.

Then, either an independent dev, or someone at Nokia could claim the idea/issue if there are enough votes and act on it -- either by using the discussion as a "guide," or going about it in their own way.

Afterall, the idea/issue is the important factor, not the various solutions... Sometimes, the solution providers know absolutely nothing about what it would take to implementat said solution (I'll add myself to that group), and sometimes, solution providers really come up with some gems.

But, I'm proposing that the solutions should be presented in the form of casual discussion, not formal answers. Then, whomever thinks they can solve the item in question can claim it and begin work -- maybe even by adding it to Bugzilla with a proposed milestone date. When the item is complete -- by an independent dev or by a Maemo dev -- the Brainstorm item is closed (as is the Bugzilla item).

Hope that made sense.

Tim
