So... time to start moderating? How to start?

For instance, http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...ssaging_client is DONE in Fremantle, but without any of the solutions proposed. Should be put under "In development"? Should the idea with the actual implementation be listed?

http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/pim_support is too vague and it's already "Under consideration" with several ideas and votes. Who decides whether it should be closed as invalid or should be ammended? Some aspects are fixed in Fremantle as well.

http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...-and_messaging is too vague and has still no solution but since it's still in a Sandbox is it enough to comment and expect the poster to ammend?

And there is probably some cleaning to do, since some entries were introduced are test... or weren't they?

Needs the ability to edit submissions by original authors... PLEASE!!!

Isn't this working already? Have you tried submitting a proposal or an idea and submitting it afterward?

I added to a topic and saw afterward that I didn't need to preface it with a number... and can't see how to edit the subject line of my addition now.

Try going to the page as signed in user and then click on the floating bar. You should find an Edit option there.

Please let's start pushing the Maemo Brainstorm seriously. Put in brief, any clever idea should make it there since that is the best place to polish ideas, evaluate them and support them with your votes. Remember that this tool has been designed as an interface with the Maemo Devices product managers, even if it can be used for any kind of feature requests.

If you see a good idea in a thread here please ask the poster to submit it to the Maemo Brainstorm.

We need real users, sporadic and frequent, to polish the tool. For instance, now that I'm using it daily it's clear that it needs a way to show what is new and to notify changes in the proposals or areas I'm most interested.

What about stop accepting new feature requests at bugs.maemo.org and even start moving the existing requests when it makes sense?

And for those knowing about this Brainstorm for the first time: please ask any question you have. Any advice is welcome!

So then... Brainstorm is THE official conduit for getting product (whatever that may be) ideas up to those who *can* possibly implement them?

Let's talk more about efficiency than official status. If our product managers, lead developers and UI designers would need to follow Talk to find the cool ideas embedded in lengthy threads then we wouldn't have much time left to actually implement them.

Even for the users actualling willing to have the features discussed it's difficult to find, follow and be active here. Talk is great for ignition and quick contrast of ideas but there is too much good ideas that are somehow lost and difficult to recover few months later.

Instead, following the Multimedia area if you are into multimedia helping directly drafting and voting the ideas there sounds like a much more efficient investment of your time for those features you really want to push.

While I agree with your sentiment about effective focus, I also think that unless people believe there is a useful receptacle for their contributions they may be disinclined to put forth the effort.

After all, weren't you the one commenting on my community engagement feedback request about specific actions?

The product planning team is ready to follow the Brainstorm. My only objection to call it "THE OFFICIAL" feedback channel is that people might think that Nokia doesn't do anything else to get feedback (sounds simplistic if you have the lightest idea of how these companies work, but apparently there is a % of people that think "Nokia doesn't listen" unless you have a Nokia employee active in the thread or blog post where the proposal or rant is made).

brainstorm.maemo.org (looking forward for this subdomain, as discussed) must have the same status than bugs.maemo.org. Counting that bugs.maemo.org is being increasingly useful as a feedback channel for bug reporting.
