This practice has been proven in wiki communities. Allow users to correct the titles of ideas and solutions, even ideas and solutions they did not write. If a user makes too many edits that are flagged by other users as incorrect (either because the user lacks understanding, or because of malice), then block them (permanently or for some period of time.

Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #12315 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

Both Digg and Reddit are proven models for sharing news. Their websites are refined and the search engine would be an improvement. Both of theses websites rely on the power of community and maybe one would be willing to host a /ubuntuideas
Users will already have accounts making it easier to join in and stay connected.

The website models on both digg and reddit would already fit into the idea model. Comments would be a good source for refining ideas while preventing branches would make it simpler and easier. As much as i'd like either of their frameworks to be open like idea torrent x264 is simply better.

Imo this seem like the simplest and easiest fix to a problem thats on the horizon.

It should create a menu with each category:
Multimedia
Internet
gnome
recent
etc...

For the old ideas are not found with the current structure.

If you are going to really search for ideas and find them you have to click submit your idea search for duplicate.

The search function needs to include all the ideas

This isn't as redundant an idea as it may sound!! It's not so much for the simplicity of voting straight through a social networking site.

Instead, every time you vote it could appear on Facebook in the friend-feed. Of course it is not guaranteed to always get on there- but generally your friends will now and again see that you have voted how the operating system should be.

The theory is that, even with the most anti-geek friends, if for example they saw the idea on making Ubuntu a more Web 2.0 integrated OS, or a vote on being able to have a say on making video-editing software or GIMP more compliant to industry standards, they might just think "I'll give that a try". And even if they don't end up permanently using it, they will at least be encouraged to have more of a say in the creation of Ubuntu as they may have installed the app too.

Brainstorm is almost the missing link in open source software between developers and adopters who regularly use it and know how to contribute if things go wrong, and the average end-user who would delve into it for 5 minutes then leave because it's too confusing where to make suggestions and how.

At the very least it will get the Ubuntu name out there a bit more, and once it is implemented the advertising is done through facebook simply by people voting.

To reach the right audience it would be nice to have Ubuntu Brainstorm be split up on desktop and server.

Right now, desktop users can vote down an idea (because they don't see the point, or think it's not that important), while it can be of high priority to server admins. By splitting up Ubuntu Brainstorm the chance of this happening is less present.

it would be great if we could ask them (administrator-moderator) to change it by another idea rationale title, and this will be only implemented once the moderator or administrator approve it.
