Linux Lite Xfce vs. Xubuntu

• Ideas getting lost on the forum in between all the discussions. They might get lost for good or lead to double posts.
  
• Posting ideas without getting feedback is not very encouraging. Even getting a "decline" is much better then talking to a brick wall.
  

 

LL-user, just some of my views to what you said...
- ideas don't really get lost if you have a search function to track down areas you're interested in or posts you visited once and want to read again
- to help reduce duplication of posts it's a good idea to run a search first, before posting, though I think a certain low level of duplication is perhaps unavoidable
- have to say that I've always found feedback pretty prompt & helpful

So the question would be how ideas could be consolidated in one place and their status shown? Would it be a separate category with all ideas extracted from all over the forum and each single one with a voting possibility to also give the developer some indication about priorities for users/forum members? Or using a different platform like GitHub or even something like uservoice.com. Although the latter wouldn't be free.

- I think this, in itself, would create duplication and would put a further demand on the moderators' time, which they give voluntarily
- not sure I like ideas being selected/rejected by popular vote - some excellent ideas might not be popular (as they may not be fully appreciated or understood) and so risk being lost with a voting system. I suspect a significant proportion of LL's target audience, i.e. ex-Windows OS users (myself included), don't have the competence or experience with Linux to judge whether some ideas are worthy or not... I leave that to the developers
