http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Brainstorming_new_features is a task still in the maemo.org backlog but there is one question that would have a bigger impact depending on the answer:

In the long run, where should feature requests be handled?

a) http://bugs.maemo.org as nowadays, making it more friendly to end users.

b) A specialized tool like http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/

c) Else

A meta-question would be whether the answer depends who you ask to. For instance, would Andre (maemo.org bugmaster) and Reggie (InternatTabletTalk admin) have the same opinion? Would ITt and maemo-developers reach the same conclusions? Who to listen and where to discuss?

2 facts, already difficult to negotiate:

- Reusing bugs.maemo.org is easier (and probably cheaper) than adding a maemo.org brainstorm. However, in theory the community should be able to handle completely e.g. a Drupal instance with Ubuntu's brainstom software.

- A maemo.org brainstorm like Ubuntu's far from the bug tracking system would make happier non-technical end users and product managers, and perhaps a bunch of power users and developers tools. However, in theory
the bugzilla UI could be tweaked to be reasonably acceptable as well.

Opinions?
