Agreed. To use an analogy, what if I created a brainstorm titled "What should be changed in the N900?". That title doesn't reflect a problem -- that's a meta-problem that could encompass many of the brainstorms currently out there. Now, what if I created "What should be changed about the N900 browser?" (or "mediaplayer"). That's still pretty broad. Seems like it would be better to pick a particular problem with the N900 browser or mediaplayer as the subject of the brainstorm.

For this particular brainstorm, I think the problem we are most focused on was filtering &/or adding classifications to t.m.o. The primary purpose is for pre-N900's to be able to filter posts related only to the N900. Although, there might be other purposes, like people wanting to focus on Mer, N900 users wanting to filter out pre-N900 threads, etc. So perhaps a better subject would have been "Add filtering/classification capabilities to talk forum". That would prevent people from adding an irrelevant solution that involves, say, displaying New York Times headlines.

For meta-problems like "Things I don't like about t.m.o.", we could have a thread that dumps problems and spawns brainstorms. Or just a brainstorm category for t.m.o.

Just my two cents' worth.
