My opinion is that there is no sane way to discuss and evaluate dozens of feature requests simultaneously in a web forum, leave alone a mailing list where all subscribers receive everything. The brainstorm offers you a way to define a problem, propose well framed solutions, have people voting them at will and leave little room to extra noise. > Microsoft has done something similarly silly as well... they started off > with their own Usenet news server and allowed those groups to be > distributed worldwide.

Propose a solution at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/brainstorm_discussion_split_between_brainstorm_and_talk/ or at least propose it here, please. -- Quim Gil open source advocate Maemo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
