Greetings, I am a new member of the GNOME contributors community.
In the following message, I will suggest the creation of a new project
entitled GNOME Innovation in HTML format for easier comprehension.

GNOME Innovation
Project Proposal
Introduction
The GNOME Innovation project is a proposal for the conditioning of a new
environment for the community to organize ideas in a brainstorm-like
system. From the behalf of this project, the current method of idea
organization used by GNOME is not unified as it should in order for it
to achieve optimal performance. The problem with it is that there are
many places where the community can submit their ideas that are not
interlaced; community members with potential interest might not get to
know about these ideas. If GNOME Innovation is created and the community
is formerly notified, the submission of ideas and project proposals in a
unified environment will overcome the effectiveness of the system used
today. The general objective of this project is to bring faster
innovation through a better communication to GNOME.
Project Structure
Sub-domain at gnome.org
There are two proposals as to where to host this project:
URL
Characteristics
innovation.gnome.org
It follows implicit gnome standards
for sub-domain naming.
It is easier to understand for the
general pubic.
nova.gnome.org
It is shorter than the previous
option, letting no attention be
taken away from the word gnome.
However, it is not expected that any of these is applied for sure.
System
The project is intended to use a Brainstorm System, which is already
provided by IdeaTorrent. It is already implemented in successful
projects such as Ubuntu Brainstorm, SourceForge.net and others. This
system is based on problem solution, which makes it pretty similar to
the bug reporting system already existent in gnome; a user posts an
idea, composed initially of a rationale--which is the description of a
what the idea will fix--and posteriorly he submits a solution. Users
incorporated in the system will be able to post solutions for the same
rationale themselves. Solutions are rated with a thumbs-up thumbs-down
system, implementing a democratic way of selecting the best solution.
To prevent the miscarriage of the community, before an idea is able to
be voted on and discussed, the Brainstorm Moderation Team will have to
approve it. The team will also get notified of popular ideas. If they
consider an idea is cost-effective, they will communicate it to the
developers for them to start bringing it to life.
