Random:

How about putting a nice karma bounty for someone who takes up one of the brainstorm's suggestion and implements it to fulfill the brainstorm's query...

This violates years old forum rule: no age discrimination. It should not matter how old you are. Only how you behave matters.

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

I think you're missing my point. There are certain basic principles which websites sign up to and incorporate in their treatment of all members which are required under the voluntary code for sites which welcome minors. It doesn't discriminate at all: merely ensures that if there are young people here (which there are) we are in line with the standards for a place they're considered 'safe'. Not to do so would be discriminatory should there come a point where ceops blocked non-compliant sites through children's safety systems and some members are then excluded.

My point is tht this place is perfectly fine for people of al ages, we lose nothing by complying with standards set down to ensure it.

Nothing useful? While some of the ideas take a long time to implement, at least a couple of things have come out of it already... And even better, most of these have been implemented by the community, not by Nokia.

In my paranoid moments, I think that Brainstorm represents a conspiracy of slowness, because of some secret reason I haven't been told. It's like, when there is a run on banks, clerks start counting money really, really slowly to give the system time to recover.

So I'd like to strongly endorse the opinion of GA, someone I have long admired and agreed with on almost every issue...

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Well.... Out of the 12 "implemented" ones:

• 3 are meta-ideas about brainstorm itself.
• 4 point to already existing official functionality (PIM, SMS, Send email keyboard shortcut, kernel address space randomisation), ie would be WORKSFORME in bugzilla.
• 2 point to community projects (Mauku, Hermes) developed independently of brainstorm.

That leaves:

Call recording
Support subtitles in Media Player
Make it easier to switch to the Desktop/App Menu

for which I have no info (it would be nice to have a pointer to the implementation)

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Apologies for going OT, but when filtering Brainstorm by Status = "In Development", why are brainstorms with status "Implemented" and "Under Consideration" being listed?

I tend to agree Brainstorm hasn't turned out to be as useful as we might have hoped - many good ideas will probably never be implemented (by Nokia/Maemo) due to the shifting sands that Maemo has become. Hopefully if/when MeeGo becomes a stable and long-term platform it will make more sense to invest time implementing good ideas raised through Brainstorm.

Bug. There is a fix for that waiting for deployment. Thanks!

Re: MeeGo forum? (maemo.org round)
 

Hmmmm --- I guess I haven't been around long enough to be as cynical about it... I like the fact that you can have a bunch of different 'solutions', and then have people vote on it...

As I was reading this thread, and all of the different suggestions, I found myself thinking "oh, that's a good idea", or "don't like that one", and I'd have liked to be able to give each of the ideas a thumbs up or thumbs down...

Even if brainstorm hasn't produced a lot of other useful improvements, it seems to me like a good tool for this kinda thing...
