I just got one of my ideas (easy configuration of iSCSI server and client) marked as dupe yesterday, and I'm still trying to figure out what part of it is duplicated (the "original idea" was a tool to migrate config and files between computers).]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:10:24 +0000
Work within the non-duplicate thread to develop and post a blueprint for your idea. Don't sweat the other idea or the votes. Just work your idea.

DON'T rant and rave about how you've been shafted. That's a quick way to lose respect from the community, and your ideas will suffer accordingly (it's not a merit contest, it's a popularity contest).

DO glean good ideas and integrate them into yours. After all, you want your idea implemented, don't you?]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:17:40 +0000
An idea can be of a very high level with almost no details or it can be a very low level and detailed one. Two ideas on a lower level plane can be "duplicates" of one another on a higher level even if they're not duplicates on the lower level.

Consolidating ideas on a higher level makes Brainstorm more manageable and in the end would give each one of the merged ideas bigger attention.]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 21:06:53 +0000 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 07:46:05 +0000
Also, the default behavior of the brainstorm search keeps people from seeing the duplicate posts at all, so they fall by the wayside. That is a good way to "lose" good ideas.

Even if it doesn't get "appealed", maybe there could be a way for the community to vote on the duplicate flag itself.

(The conflict isn't in technicalities, but in approach, goals, and proposed execution. Technically, they can both be implemented side-by-side)

these two are not duplicates :

A little bit different can make all the difference in some cases.

For eg, my network in a box idea, develop a way to have a self deploying network that sets itself up, and install all the relevent packages, on the different computers (as well as setting up ldap automatically, etc. That was marked dupe with "Ubuntu business server", which I dont agree with.

One may argue the best way to implement this would be a seperate server, but I strongly believe Ubuntu server itself should be modular enough & integrated enough to include this capability on its CD
Whats important is if the implementation is the same.

Idea #91: Better Clipboard Management

This idea is a duplicate of idea #3118: Fix copy / paste.

But the latter is not really a duplicate of the former, and the latter was closed as a bug not an idea. So now the former idea is closed??]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:35:35 +0000
