Ruth DavisThis is something that was talked about during the ECDI meetings. I’ll also be unstickying (yep, I just made that word up) this post soon. There is some redundancy…or could be. The general consensus is that this where the initial spitballing for an idea should happen as well as any messy conversation. It could include already established LP tickets, but doesn’t necessarily. Once there seems to a level of consensus or we’re moving into a voting phase, this would be the place to provide some seed/background information to populate the ideas boards. Of course, this has worked backwards at this point, with the ideas board initially seeding the forum.
This will allow anyone with a site account to participate with the forum. Then, the ideas board gets more locked down with only voting members able to submit ideas/vote for priorities.
It’s also conceivable, and something I noticed as I was inputting the ideas as topics, that some could be merged back into the ideas page with multiple topics representing one idea…or one possible project (there are a number of related ideas/topics that could be My Account enhancement, search enhanced, etc.).
So, going forward, will be forum-spitball-begin-requirements > forum-discussion + idea-vote/add_heat > forum-discussion/idea-vote/add_heat + LP-ticket/requirements-to-community
