Hello,
During ChangeCamp Ottawa I had an idea I'd like to share with you.
The problem: During sessions, people are giving (or throwing) ideas. Some of them are great, but only few people can hear, comment, argue, and consolidate them. Great ideas given during ChangeCamp Ottawa could be really useful during ChangeCamp Vancouver and in many places anywhere in the world, but most of the time ideas are lost (in the wiki if they had the chance having been documented).
The solution: creating a website where people could describe problems and share ideas of solutions while the public could track, vote, comment, propose solutions, share... Do you know Dell Ideastorm (http://www.ideastorm.com/)? This is quite the same thing as what I am describing, and good news... there is a free and open-source software that do this. It is called Idea Torrent (http://www.ideatorrent.org), and here is another good news: I have setup and configure a prototype you can try here: http://ideas.ekopedia.org/
The future: If you want to try it, visit http://ideas.ekopedia.org/ and Submit your (test) idea. I can also give moderator, developer and/or administrator rights to whoever need them. If you think like me this tool as its place on ChangeCamp, we could use the subdomain "ideas.changecamp.ca" for this tool. I could host it on my server, but I could also move this prototype to your server. I have other projects, so this project would need web moderator(s).
What do you think?
P.S. If you happen to know someone searching for an experienced Web Collaboration &/or Open-Source Specialist (bilingual) in Ottawa/Gatineau, I am actively searching for a job there :)
