I was wondering if there’s any equivalent for ubuntu brainstorm, i.e. an official place for contributing with ideas and suggestions about the project without needing to be a DD. I realize that Debian has mailing lists, but a website for brainstorming could probably be a better tool and provide a much better experience (just like ask.debian is doing for Debian related questions).
I think that this kind of tool could expand the contributions to the project beyond the DD realm, without jeopardizing the development of the Debian project.
Perhaps this could also be extremely useful with regard to the DEX initative and the Derivatives Front Desk.
In the end, it’s all about expanding the options for potential contributors to collaborate with the project. I’m sure that there must be lots of people that for different reasons can’t contribute in a traditional way (code, packaging, documentation, translation, etc) but that might be more than willing to contribute in other ways (for example, by sharing good ideas on how to improve Debian further).
