Let me play devil's advocate here. This isn't because I think it's a
bad idea (I think we need more feedback, in general), but because I
think this proposal needs a bit of tightening to give us a worthwhile
product.
Firstly, I don't see anything here that requires an app. All of this
could be done on a website. Once you have a website, you can make a
webapp for Ubuntu very easily. If there's a reason this has to be an
app, that should be clarified.

This would be a Blog updated (for example) once or twice a month
announcing the most important changes that have landed so far in
order to draw attention to them and encourage feedback on these
topics. Of course this could also be used to just keep the community
informed in general. I would love to see the different teams updating
here regularly. For example I have read about an upcoming Blog for
Unity that is to be created in the near future, would love to get
updates on Unity Next, the Phone, Ubuntu TV etc. without checking
different sites.
I'm confused about what exactly would appear on this blog. If it's
only updated once every two weeks, it's not going to be go-to reading
for anyone. I'd wait for these posts to be syndicated on Planet
Ubuntu. If it's supposed to be aggregating a bunch of blogs, isn't
that what Planet Ubuntu is already doing?
2. Missions
This is a place where Core Developers and perhaps any other developer
(not sure on that yet) can post small things they specifically want
users to check out, test and give feedback on.
Here we are looking for Feedback in terms of "quality" and not
"quantity".
See Mockup Image.
3. Polls
A place where we can gather feedback in a quantifiable sense. How
many people like the new iconsets? How many people think Unity Next
should have Windows on the Desktop etc. You get the picture..
See Mockup Image.
The Ubuntu App Developers community on Google+ is already used for this
purpose. What does this offer that Google+ does not?
I'm also skeptical of the usefulness of polls with self-selected
respondents. They tend to tell you only what people who feel strongly
about an issue think, which may not be the same as what most people
think.
4. General Feedback
Here a User can select different official Ubuntu Flavors, Topics and
Packages/Projects to give feedback on or send in an Idea without the
need of a "Mission" or "Poll".
Why would this work any better than the now-defunct Ubuntu Brainstorm
site?
Where would this information go? As a developer, I rather have bugs
and feature requests on my issue tracker, rather than on some external
site.
Thanks,
Robert
