Today Pidgin is launching a new community for users. Brainstorm, the centerpiece of this site, features a voting system for discovering the most popular Pidgin-related ideas.
With this, the developers will hopefully get a good sense of what is important. Brainstorm will also track when submitted ideas are finally implemented.
The benefits aren't limited only to the developers. Plugin developers and patch writers will be able to get some inspiration too.
Many thanks to the guys who made Ubuntu Brainstorm, which forms the backbone of Pidgin Brainstorm. Also needing recognition: Vadim Peretokin and maxious, who suggested an ideas board on my blog post about building a better community. This was all put together in less than 72 hours (notwithstanding some New Year's celebrations).
Please comment on what you think about the new site, and how it compares to the old system.
So get on out there and start submitting ideas for your favorite chat client!
