Description

Every 2 weeks you should write a blog entry about which ideas caught the eye of developers, which ones shouldn't be submitted anymore because its currently in work, which ones surprised developers as being as popular as they were, any trends you are spotting. Just generally give some feedback on the suggestions here. Otherwise you are in risk of people thinking this is a one way process with people never getting any feedback on what the developers make of their ideas.

The Gimp project has a site where people can propose new ideas for the next GIMP GUI, and after every 25 submissions the developers post a blog explaining what they made of the ideas. Even if its just a short list of what trends they spotted over the last few weeks it's always interesting to read and gives you a sense that your suggestions are actually being considered.

I think Brainstorm needs something similar.

How about doing it more like Dell does, and commenting on the ideas that move from the "idea" stage to either being worked on or being implemented.

That blog is excellent. Something like that needs to be made into an official blog.

I think these blogs should appear on the left side too.
2 or 3 weeks should be enough for them to write up a bit what catches their opinion. It helps us as well

There are some "ideas" being posted in which people question the impact of brainstorm.
The implementation of this idea might help people see exactly how much time is being put into this site in terms of development.

Brainstorm is a great way of bridging the divide between end users and developers, and i think that an implementation of such an idea could help that further.

Voted up.. Compliments http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5476/ and gives us a clearer idea of the ubuntu development process so we can optimise idea submission better
