The ideas keeps coming… And soon we will be able to give some feedback! A blog will come soon. Meanwhile, here are some appetizers:

New front page, new smarter algorithm, new roles for moderator and Ubuntu developers, new categories,… Lots of new stuff! I believe all this will greatly help to give more attention to new ideas. Check out the new Brainstorm! Here’s the Fridge announce.
