Request For Comments: blueprint around Ideastorm idea
Hi! I have been drafting a blueprint around Dell's Ideastorm idea. Considering that the current means to get user wishes feedback is not really good (see discussion in the blueprint) and considering Ideastorm success for Dell, i was thinking of using this idea to assess the user wishes. Right now, when a user want to post a wish about ubuntu, where does he go? He goes to forums, where its posts is quickly lost in the mass. Or *if he know about it*, he goes to the bug report (bug! Not obvious!) to post a wish. But this wish report hardly represent the size of the wish. Is only one person interested by this wish, or thousands? or more? Consequently there is no real means to assess *quantitatively* and *effectively* the users wishes and needs. Thus the main guidelines of ubuntu development does not optimally match the users demand. Considering this, my blueprint try to propose a solution based on Ideastorm idea, and reusing Launchpad framework. Here it is : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/launchpad/+spec/better-community-wishes-assessment I would really appreciate any comments on this, and you are welcome to do some modifications you think appropriate. Especially I'd like to hear from Launchpad guys about the possible implementation of the spec. Thanks!

I think there are some nice side benefits: awareness of launchpad (for example if a feature is drawing enough attention then it will get people to request it on launchpad, especially if it is a known way to get support on something), more launchpad users in general also means more bugs are reported to the right places and not in forums and blogs etc. If this idea could help launchpad awareness, I think that would be good in general. Is it the best way to do that?... maybe...
