Poll closed and discussion made - including internal chat with some Maemo SW product managers.

My humble recommendation to the maemo.org team will be to implement http://www.ideatorrent.org/ - which is the spin-off of the Ubuntu Brainstorm. It would handle the feature requests with a low entry barrier for contributions. bugs.maemo.org would be left for pure bug reporting.

It would be good to have it running with som inertia by the Maemo 5 launch so the new generation of Maemo users would find it ready to get involved. This could mean have it before as alpha/beta, following more or less the same path than the Fremantle release itself.

About the tough bone of the user integration, it should be either a not very complicated hack or something solved (later?) through the single sign-on. I see no problem starting with new users if needed. The Wikipedia project didn't wait for user integration to start creating subprojects and become world most famous collaborative environment...
