Three months after the launch, it was time to do a small recap and lay out the plans for the next months.

At the moment, we can say that we have reached one of our goals: we are getting lots of feedback from you, and we are thankful! What an amazing community! We are now working towards a better feedback to your input : Starting this cycle, there should be some regular developer feedback on popular ideas, directly on the idea page, or on this blog, such as the latest three developer responses. You are developer and want to comment ideas? Please follow these directions.

In the next months, the work will be focused on an easier classification of ideas in projects, so that it can be exploited by non-Ubuntu software developers. Some possibilities include :

• assigning an idea to a project.
• searching by project.
• moderation of ideas by the project's software developers.
• the creation of sub-brainstorm websites ([project_name].brainstorm.ubuntu.com), which would use the same Brainstorm database, but with ideas filtered by project.

Also coming is an easy way for Brainstorm users to contact each other, tools for Ubuntu developers to spot and keep track of the interesting ideas, and in the long rung, we are heading towards a project neutral release, but don't expect it too soon.

Finally, there may be some more features, but it's up to you, contributors, to start participating in Brainstorm development by working on one of these mentored tasks :)
