Yes, what's going on, fordplay?
Just pick up one (or two, or three) ideas, and implement it!
;-)
SCNR... we are a community, man. This is free software, Linux grew and matured because of people supplying code and time, not by complaining ;-)

Not much of an idea perhaps, but I agree. :)

It is frustrating as a contributor of ideas to see your votes only climb so high in the day or so they get some attention, and then fall of the radar entirely.
Sadly, +1.

Who says that?
This here is a brainstorm, here are ideas brewed.
This is no wishbox for things that will be done for sure.
And again, don't complain, do something. Linux is no company you pay like Microsoft or Apple, or MacDonalds or anything else out there.
Find a bug and report it with a clear description how to reproduce it.
If you can code, join a team and help coding.
If you speak a language other than English help translating applications.
Join a team and discuss Linux development.
Write documentation.
We are half a world of lazy people, just complaining that "things don't work" - nobody stops you from helping.
Just your own a*s glueing on your chair ;-)

And, when we speak in maths, I bet 20 per cent of the ideas are duplicates because people don't search for ideas before posting.

Good idea.
And good discussion as to "how".
@droetker
I agree, but I'd like to expand on the thinking a bit more - if I may.
This is just a small thing;
I have noticed a slight attitude or generalization that occasionally appears with the words "English" and "translation".
The generalization is probably quite true, and not intended as any sort of less than goodwill attitude towards non English speakers.
But it seem to generalize that the programs are written in English and need to be translated to other languages.
There are several cases where the programs are written in other countries, and need translation "to" English.
To the credit of many programmers in other countries, they already speak and write English because of it's universality, and good training/studies. But this tends to shade the amount of programming done by countries for which, English is not the National language.
I am not meaning to be petty, or poke the finger.
But I do think it is an opportunity at this point (right here in this suggested idea), to acknowledge all the work done by these programmers and document writers, graphic artists, etc, et al, thanking them for their work.
And it will be a great day when Brainstorm goes multilingual.
@droetker
again I agree, or maybe disagree here - mmm the figure might be higher than that.
But it's not that they "don't search", it's more that they don't get notified during the submission - when the system leads them to believe that "It Is" checking for duplicates.
If the "duplicate detection" system got turned off - then people wouldn't think they can rely on it.
It could be replaced with a message that says something like "please do a search for similar topics before posting an idea".
Wishing you all a happy Ubuntu.

Totally agree. The duplicate search engine is very bad, in fact I never really found something helpful in the suggestions - I always must use the engine.
So maybe all who read this should vote here:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11069/
The title is hard, but he is right...

oops, wanted to say: "I always must use the _search_ engine"

1. Sorry, but I think you were mistaken...approx 0.27%.
But what we have now? 21110 ideas(contributed) and approx 410 implemented ideas...that's approx 1.94%
2. This is not a useful idea to improve Ubuntu.
Closing in Brainstorm.
