[maemo-community] Brainstorm: useful?

[From: Jose Manrique Lopez de la Fuente]

Hi,

I think that brainstorming or any discussion is useful if "users" see
results from it. I am not sure if "implemented ideas" are the result
people is expecting...
http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/list/implemented/fremantle/

any way, the brainstorm website seems too complex, too long, ... Something like:
Ideas
---------
[Idea title] [number of proposed solutions]
[Idea brief]
--------
[Idea title] [number of proposed solutions]
[Idea brief]
--------
[Idea title] [number of proposed solutions]
[Idea brief]

Just to have a main ideas view, and you can switch to speficic item,
instead of a long scroll page...

Best regards,
