Idea #12643: Brainstorm needs a 'Question of the Week' -style poll.

Written by Ubun2ideas the 28 Aug 08 at 23:02. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Status: New
Rationale
Each week Brainstorm should feature a question that is on the minds of the developers and leaders of the Ubuntu project. I'm thinking, questions like:

* In your opinion, what is the 'weakest link' in Hardy Heron or Ibex (Alpha)?

* Which of the following areas would you like to see Ubuntu excel in .... a) b) c) ?

* How can we make the release of Ibex go smoother and generate more excitement than Hardy's release?

Apart from being good conversation starters, these questions can give the Ubuntu developers a platform to publicly address issues and concerns that matter to them, while also providing inspiration for other relevant brainstorm ideas.

I think this is a good idea (even if the users sometimes dont know what they need actually).

+1. It helps aid community developer communications

Thanks. I agree.

I posted an idea very similar to this. I still think it's a great idea :)

Why limit it to once per week - why not "any' time, or as often as they like.

Similar idea to view and vote on ;
Idea #10164: Developers could be Active & Directive in Soliciting ideas.

Completely agree. Communication is one thing that is difficult, but not impossible to over do. It is, however, extremely easy to not do it enough.

+1, step in the right direction of devs understanding how the users actually works.

That's what the forums are for. You can start discussions and creat polls on ubuntuforums.org, brainstorm is just for ideas.

Great idea, in fact I was going to post something nearly identical.
(Yes I read the guidelines and did a search beforehand)

Anyway, I thought that what would be better is a little application, say in:
Applications-->Daily Poll (or similar)
Where you open it up and it gives you a list of some ideas or questions and you choose from a few answers. This way you don't even need to 'leave' the desktop. And it would be great if you were bored. (e.g. At work)
