In this theme, Oskari Kokko has requested ideas and comments on his plan for IdeaTorrent on adding IdeaTorrent-like features to Midgard for maemo.org. His goal is to have a beta site set up next week.

Current ideas are in the wiki, revisions may be made there, and discussion may be started in the talk page.

There's been much interest expressed in making maemo.org more friendly to end users and giving those same end users a better method of providing product feedback and direction to Nokia. This is a chance to help shape a new tool that is a significant piece in work toward those goals.

Bugzilla is functional, but its interface is a cruel barrier to place before an end user with an idea for product improvement. IdeaTorrent should be the welcoming new location for end user product feedback and ideas, but greater community involvement in its setup should help to avoid by-developers, for-developers pitfalls.

Examples of existing sites using similar and the same software are in the wiki.

EDIT: I've adjusted the text above to reflect the plan to customize Midgard rather than use IdeaTorrent. Debate on the merits of that idea continues on the mailing list.
