The simplest solution I can think of is to have a checkbox next to the comment box that alerts the moderator team (via rss/e-mail/special page/whatever) that there is something in that comment that the moderators should read.

Notepad++ An option to allow the toolbar to break into two or more rows depending on the window size so that all options in the toolbar are visible.

Maybe even let the user create several custom toolbars that can be stacked on each other.

You can call it QuestionTorrent and it can be basically the same application, except instead of submitting, ranking and implementing ideas, it would be about asking, answering and rating questions. I would love to have this for my online community.

Showing the newer solutions submitted at the beginning will bring more attention to them. In addition the total number of solutions should be displayed so the voters are informed how many more solutions are there, so they may check them out.

Hiding the votes would protect further voters from influencing their choice to get a more accurate result.

Users should have the option of allowing others to see the ideas that they have promoted/demoted. In each users dashboard there could be an option to show/hide ideas that he/she has promoted or demoted. I suggest that the options be independent for promoted and demoted. That way the user can choose to show one and hide the other, show both or hide both. Anonymity may promote more honesty.

Just allow idea submitters to edit the title of their idea while it is waiting for approval.

Filter "Idea Sandbox" so that it is showed only to moderators

I think that normal users should be able to see the sandbox. If they find an idea in there that they like, they may keep returning to check if that specific idea has been approved so they can vote on it. I just think it allows ideas to be better advertised. Chances are more users will contribute to ideas if they can see it as soon as it is submitted.

First of all, that's the most natural way. People implement solutions to solve the problem described in ideas rationale. When enough solutions are implemented, the problem is solved. Second, it solves the effort wasting problem.

XFN's identity tag can be used to declare ownership of a profile page, a rel=me link (or rel="nofollow me" to thwart spammers) back to the user's home page would declare ownership of the page. rel="me" links between sub-pages of the profile would allow all pages to become one big profile.

http://gmpg.org/xfn/11

Then provide an Atom and/or RSS feed on each user page (comments, problems, solutions, ++votes, --votes) which can be followed by visitors. Atom would be best as it has author tags.

This information could then be fed into social networking and aggregating tools like Google Buzz, Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader and so on.

I suggest converting all ampersands into &amp; and < and > converted into their HTML entities &lt; and &gt; to prevent display errors.

Additionally, any future versions should check for current entries from old versions where people have used HTML entities to bypass this, and convert them accordingly to prevent display errors.

Additionally, some further syntax to allow for specific formatting (i.e. bold, italic tags, code tags, etc.) would be welcomed, as they could be used to better display text.

This should be implemented in the comments section and rational/solution description. Most forums have this feature, IdeaTorrent should have it too.

If you don't know what I am talking about have a look at posting on forums, like the ubuntu forums. When you post you have options above the text box to add links, images and format text (bold, lists, etc...).

It would be nice to download a working virtual machine (VirtualBox and similar) of a complete Idea Torrent server.

The virtual machine would contain the SQL server, Drupal installation, and a default Idea Torrent configuration.

This would be useful for people to quickly evaluate the software, and perhaps, even allow users to run it in production.

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.

On the idea page (where you can see comments and add your own), show a comments section beneath each solution. The comments section starts collapsed, saying "4 comments on this solution" and possibly "add a comment". These links expand the solution's comments section, showing the comments and allowing you to add one.

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.
