IdeaTorrent

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.

Place it in a section called Ideatorrent. You can just click on a link in the admin panel under that section. Hope this makes it easier to manage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Allow users to pay a cent for a vote. This feature will obviously be optional, and can be turned off at different levels. (It's not used at all, it's used but the ideas are in a different pool from the non-commercial ones, it's used but the user controls whether or not they view commercial and non-commercial ideas together, etc.)

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.

Add a step-by-step install script for IdeaStorm. All the user would have to do is upload the files to his/ger ftp and run install.php.

If the Drupal module http://drupal.org/project/ideatorrent included the latest version of IdeaTorrent, it would be as easy to install as any other module.

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.

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.

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.

Wouldn't it be nice if the interface told you how many ideas there were in the "Popular Ideas", "Ideas in development" and "Implemented Ideas" area ?

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.
