If I type something like "Idea 1234" or "idea #1234" or "idea:1234" in a comment on Brainstorm, it should automatically become a link to that idea: Idea 1234

This would be exactly the same as in bug trackers like Bugzilla where "Bug 1234" becomes a link. "Bug 1234" should work, too, for that matter.

Launchpad or Bugzilla already have nice regexes that could be used for this, I'm sure.

Each user can optionally be limited by a group setting to number of votes she has available. She can always remove votes from one idea to move them to others, or she gets them back once an idea is implemented. It is good to give 1-3 votes to an idea. A method to granting bonus votes to users is also a needed addition.

This can also be used to limit suggestions a user can make, if he always has to give at least one vote to his own initial ideas.

This may be what solution #1 was saying; it wasn't entirely clear to me.

Give users "priority votes" or something that they can use to say which problem they think is the highest priority. Each user has a limited number of priority votes as in solution #1. These votes are different from the unlimited votes you can make on solutions.

I would suggest users can vote on the missing features/rationales independend from the Solution _and_ if a user only votes on a solution it is also a vote for the problem. This way a rational with 1 Ideas (each 10 votes) has at least 20 votes in comparision to other rationales with 1 idea and 15 votes.

I'd like to see a simple way of pulling out metric information from the submitted ideas/solutions. Be able to create/save reports (possibly system wide and user based), automate the reports with scheduled times and email results. The numeric reports would be delimited for ease of creating graphs (or create graphs directly). The text reports would be simple lists with links embedded to take you directly to the problem statement/solution.

Some default reports that would be nice to have:

Number of solutions submitted per category within a date range.
Number of solutions submitted total within a date range.
Solution report that shows problem statement title and its associated solution titles with time and category constraint options.
Hot topic report. Based on discussion activity and not necessarily voting.
Active user reports within date range or all time. Probably containing counts of comments, votes, ideas, and solutions.

That's all I'm coming up with now, possibly others will have some.

I'd like to have the ability to configure notifications for new and/or changed ideas to be sent to assigned email addresses. Even something as simple as a note that says you have new ideas to moderate.

I'd like it to be a list so that multiple addresses can be used for any individual category. Each category would be configured individually. The current configuration should be displayed on the category page so it is easy to spot (on one page) any categories that are/aren't configured correctly.

It might also be useful to have a configuration in much the same way that would cover all new/changed submissions. Of course you'd want this to be optional.

I think RSS by default and email optional.

Much like notifications for category subscribers, a user notification for changes to ideas they've submitted or updates to ideas where they've commented. This would be much like email notifications to forum posts that I've received in the past.

The message would say something like 'there have been comments or new solutions posted to your idea, you won't receive any further notifications until you review the current updates'.

The users of our environment likely won't be closely following ideas through their life cycle, but would want to be notified when there are updates.

This should be configurable per user.

You could allow E-Mail notifications for changes to Favorites (starred) entries. If you then add the ability to star categories, the email notes will come in automatically. (Some filtering is probably needed)
