Brainstorm

Users tend to file solutions as problems into maemo.org brainstorm

I've understood that maemo.org brainstorm is a place for discussing different solutions for problems present in Maemo and related devices. What I have seen (both here and in other projects) is that people suggest a solution as an idea and then the same solution as a solution for the idea (or else no solution at all as the idea is the solution). How could maemo.org brainstorm help people file problems as problems?

Solution #1: Optional "Solution" area in "Idea" (or "Problem") submission form

Posted on 2009-06-17 15:38 UTC by j mch.

Break the "Idea" into "Problem" and "Solution" or even "Idea/Problem" and "Solution". As is currently implemented, problems could be submitted separately from solutions but solutions need to be linked to a problem.  I would like to see the initial solution as an optional part of the idea/problem report.

In order to allow a problem introducer to provide an example solution, we could just make the idea submitting form clearer. Just make it clear that the first part of the form is used for filing a problem, and the other part of the form is used for providing the first solution candidate for that problem. The solution part could also be optional.
