IdeaTorrent

Just the currently implemented classes on this ideatorrent are 'popular', 'ideas in development', and 'implemented ideas'. This would create a new class called 'tabled ideas'. This would be to weed out ideas that won't be implemented for whatever reason but not just delete them. The ideas could then be moved back out into the regular population at some future point as well.

While the end result of not saving unauthenticated votes is correct, it can be confusing to users who see their votes applied but then removed if they return to the same 'idea'.

Possibly either don't allow unauthenticated voting at all (preferred) and/or warn unauthenticated users that their votes won't count.

Add a message to the page stating what is missing and why the form was re-loaded as well as highlighting the field that was missing in some other color to be noticeable.

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.

When specifying a category of idea, the RSS feed should change to list entries only that category. It is currently grabbing all in the sandbox or popular or the rest.

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)
