We had a meeting related to this and other stuff with Tero today, and the plan is to open up the super-secret URL this week so we can get comments from a wider audience.

Dave is working on the plan about the workflow, and hopefully that will be published soon, so we can discuss not only the software side of Brainstorm, but the human and procedure side of it too.

As for using the Talk infrastructure for handling all maemo.org discussions (I'd take this to Downloads and News as well once we're at it)...

Definitely a good idea. Here we have a much more active discussion community than on the main site. And this way members would have only a single location to monitor for new comments and discussion.

However, as such integration requires both the SSO to be in place, and some other tasks, I'd propose first launching Brainstorm with in-site comments and later switching all commenting to use Talk.

Otherwise the Brainstorm launch will be overloaded with Talk-related issues, stealing focus from the actual point of idea brainstorming.
