    <description><![CDATA[One good thing about brainstorm is that it gives the community a solid way of getting involved. let's add to that.<br /><br />if a person likes an idea, and wants to help make it happen, they should be able to sign up publicly on brainstorm.<br /><br />several benefits of this:<br />- make it even easier to get involved.<br />- community can see which users are helping with which ideas.<br /><br />wouldn't be too hard to generate an email list from the users who volunteer.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[I was thinking along the same lines....I would like to help out, but I have no experience of even testing apps for bugs, who do I approach, what do I look out for,where do I contact...obvious questions and obvious answers unless you are a recent user who feels he wants to help out with some simple stuff as to help the developers concentrate on developing.<br /><br />Can we not have a gateway of sorts that includes FAQ's? ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I would also like to say, that this seems somewhat pointless if they don't implement a way to allow users to be aware of changes to ideas, such as email the user when a new comment in posted, as suggested in one of my ideas.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Big +1 for me. <br /><br />I'm a coder, and the reality is, we cant rely on conanical for everything (there are over 7000 ideas here), and some ideas I really like, are sitting on 10 votes. <br /><br />If I want something done, I have to do it myself, so encouraging community collaboration may help push a lot more ideas through]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Actually with blueprints and launchpad malone for bug reports, anybody can work on a idea. However, it could be more "evident" and "integrated". At least, we are writing new guidelines and "how brainstorm works" pages which will give more informations about this so users can know how to use their super-powers :) That's a beginning..]]></description>

  <title>Comment from Taxman</title>
  <description><![CDATA[I agree with saivann. Auzy, you don't need to be an employee of Canonical to use Launchpad, just sign up like you did for brainstorm. It is the place where bugs are tracked and patches etc, so developers can coordinate. Bug reports and feature requests can be tracked and organized there. You really should check it out, I think you'll find it has what you want and we need your skills there. It can notify you when people sign on to an idea if I recall correctly.<br /><br />If some of the single sign on ideas are implemented for these sites then that would certainly make integrating all of them much easier.<br /><br />I suppose a little more explanation of what blueprints and launchpad in general are for and not just small icons that could easily be missed next to a brainstorm idea might help.<br />]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Taxman is actually right. Anyone can already work on ubuntu development and from my experience, ubuntu developers are very active in IRC and always happy when you speak to them directly of any bug report you worked on. They are ready to work with you to improve your code and include it in ubuntu when it gets mature. <br /><br />Here's what we are currently writing which should be visible on brainstorm pages :<br /><br />https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brainstorm/How_Brainstorm_works<br />https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brainstorm/PostingGuidelines]]></description>
