Brainstorming redux

[jennifer]

I've read through the comments to the brainstorming post and these are the most popular requests I'm seeing:

- ability to preview and/or edit screened responses
- adjustment of point assignments
- approval links on a given answer instead of having to use the drop-down
- better tracking of when a request was last touched and in what way (screened answers, ICs)
- responding directly to other responses (threaded comments)
- improved filtering/sorting/tagging
- view of all requests a given user has sent in
- view of all requests a given user has answered
- per-request notifications
- better wording for support email notifications
- linking of support requests to Zilla bugs with access to relevant stats
- ability to reference multiple FAQs

That sounds like a pretty heavy overhaul, but I think if we work on a chunk at a time, it'll get done!

If there's no objection I can open a Bugzilla item for each of the bullet points I've listed above. Any additional discussion about implementation details can go in comments to this post for now.

Brainstorming

Totally off-topic, but I always thought we were meant to avoid the term "brainstorm" these days, because it means something else to epileptics. Is that just an urban legend?

That's news to me. I can certainly avoid the term in the future if it makes anyone here uncomfortable.

Well, it doesn't bother me personally, but I was always told at school that we weren't allowed to use it, so I was curious to know if that was because it actually is offensive, or just overly-PC-paranoia (which is entirely possible). Maybe I'll go ask in dw_accessibility or somewhere.

Edit: A quick Google tells me that various National Socities of Epileptics don't mind the term; it's mainly paranoia among diversity advisors. Thanks for driving me to look it up rather than just relying on the myth!
