Reviewing comments on brainstorm is time consuming  
Written by lavinog the 22 Mar 10 at 19:24. Category: Website navigation. New
There is no notification that comments are replied to on brainstorm.
A user can make a comment, and only find out that someone replied to their comment by revisiting the idea page.

Solution #1: Show the user name of latest comment on show all comments link
Written by lavinog the 22 Mar 10 at 19:24.
The "See the # comments or propose a solution" link currently shows a date time stamp of the latest comment:
(latest comment the 27 Nov 09 at 17:58) >>

Add the user name for the latest comment:
(latest comment by SOMEUSER on the 27 Nov 09 at 17:58) >>

This will at least keep users from reviewing comments where they were the last to comment.

This should be an easy thing to implement.

Solution #3: Twitter/instant message/(other communication methods) on new comment/solution
Written by everest40 the 24 Mar 10 at 02:31.
Like solution number 2, but don't limit it to just email. Some users might prefer to receive notifications by other means.

bridge the login between launchpad, shipit, brainstorm and other cannocal sites  
Written by wackyanimation the 22 Apr 10 at 02:43. Category: Website structure. In development
There should be a briged login between canonical sites to allow users to more easily transition between the sites. More people are more willing to post in the forum or participate in brainstorm if they can easily log into each of the sites without unnecessary registration.

Selected solution (#1): Add a universal Ubuntu Account
Written by wackyanimation the 22 Apr 10 at 02:43.
When people visit a cannocal owned website, ask them to enter their ubuntu account, and if they do not have one, ask to register for one. Once created, allow access to that account from all of ubuntu's sister sites.

Selected solution (#2): Switch to OpenID-only login's (if none, create an ubuntu one)
Written by Auzy the 22 Apr 10 at 09:54.
Rather than create yet another single sign-in system to join Google account/yahoo single sign-in/Facebook/MS passport, we should only support OpenID. Anyone can be a password provider, and Ubuntu could provide their own OpenID server to those who don't already have an OpenID account. Most of Ubuntu's services already support OpenID.

Selected solution (#3): Use the existing https://login.ubuntu.com/ Single Sign On Service
Written by aliam13_2 the 22 Apr 10 at 10:32.
The Ubuntu Single Sign On service already exists and is used by launchpad, Ubuntu wiki and Canonical's shop. Use this as teh login system.

Selected solution (#4): Optional Solution #2
Written by zerothis the 26 Apr 10 at 21:09.
Many sites accept private and OpenID logins. There is no requirement to use OpenID, just the option.
