Ubuntu Brainstorm && upstream projects: the poll

23 June, 2008 (19:35) | Ubuntu

Oh hai!

Starting now, you can affect a project to an idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm. And since our evil plans to world domination includes to make next Brainstorm websites dedicated to projects (including non-ubuntu, upstream ones) that will share data with the global one, I’d like to make a small poll:

  1. As an upstream developer/maintainer, would a Brainstorm-like website interests you? Why/Why not?
  2. If there was to be a brainstorm website like the current Brainstorm website, but dedicated to your project, what would you like to see changed?
  3. If you had the choice to use a Brainstorm-like website hosted on your project website, or hosted on brainstorm.ubuntu.com, which one would you choose? Ideally both, sharing the same data?
  4. Would the fact that it is hosted on brainstorm.ubuntu.com (EDIT: was “ubuntu.com”) prevent you to use it?
  5. Would you ask to close the Brainstorm website related to your project hosted on brainstorm.ubuntu.com if brainstorm websites were to be automatically created for all the major upstream softwares?
  6. Purely cosmetic: If you were to use a brainstorm website hosted on brainstorm.ubuntu.com, would you rather prefer the [project_name].brainstorm.ubuntu.com URL, or brainstorm.ubuntu.com/[project_name] URL?
  7. Finally, anything else?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Please forward this to your upstream fellows!

EDIT:  To make things clear : when I’m speaking of “hosting” on brainstorm.ubuntu.com, it is in fact merely putting another entry point to the current Brainstorm website, with a filter on the project field : this would be exactly like the current Brainstorm, except that the URL will be different, and only ideas related to a given project would be shown.

On the opposite, when I’m speaking of setting a Brainstorm website on your project website, it would be installing another instance of the Brainstorm code, using a project-neutral release of Brainstorm.
