Ideastorm CATEGORIES need FOLDERS? How to make content ACCESSIBLE and VISIBLE?

180 points posted to IdeaStorm by phubert 11/14/07

A problem badblood addressed was the repetition of ideas.

As he pointed out, the PROBLEM is largely one of VISIBILITY.

So, the real question is how to make thoughts VISIBLE, perhaps especially to NEW visitors to IdeaStorm.

The old Computerworld forums was arranged using FOLDERS.

USERS were able to create new folders under main headings (aka Categories).

Yes, it would be best if entries could be sorted by DATE as well as by Title.

No, there was no voting. Perhaps POLLS could replace voting?

the varlinux site shows which submissions have comments you have not yet read.

The question here, is

"How could the site make an existing, outstanding, older idea visible to newer members of IdeaStorm?

Additionally,

"How could the site make -all- content easier to navigate?"

A parallel question is

"How could the site provide better information about and TO the users?" (suggestions re; voting stat display, user stat display)

11/14/07		 IdeaStorm function and organization has HOW MANY suggestions?????

It really WOULD be nice if they could all be collected in one place... but not necessarily MERGED.
