Boost new ideas  
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:28. Category: Website structure. New
Currently, the most popular ideas have the most prominent position on ubuntu brainstorm.

However, an idea that already has several hundreds of votes (and practically is already decided) needs less attention than one recently created.

For example, I recently proposed a solution to an idea that now has five votes, all positive. But apparently, it is hardly noticed by anyone else.

Solution #1: Create a new tab for ideas that need attention
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:28.
Instead of only offering the most popular ideas, add a tab for ideas that only have few votes.

Additionally, ideas that are voted about 50-50 and so still need votes for a real decision should also be shown there.

The date an idea was created should not make a difference here.

Solution #2: Guide the user explicitly through the votes
Written by LSenf the 1 May 12 at 15:33.
Add a feature that "feeds" the user one idea after another, instead of making the user search ideas to vote for.

This should also give priority to new ideas and ideas still needing a clear decision.

It could be implemented either as a new tab, a part of the dash or even the main page.

In case the user is interested in a specific topic project, this should be offered as an optional filter.

Solution #3: Add a "Not Yet Voted" tab to Brainstorm

Simply Add a Scroll Down Option or Tab to Brainstorm that lists all ideas/solutions (newest first) that you haven't yet voted on.

Ease of use

Make the menus pinnable as used in Geoworks. The menus can be locked so they don't disappear after item is selected from drop down list. Once locked the menu can be moved anywhere on the screen. Great for use in graphics programs.Should be global. This was one of the best features of Geoworks and a big flaw in Windows.

No idea. This is just a suggestion I'm not a programer.
