If you haven't seen it yet, Ubuntu is running
an interesting
brainstorming software called IdeaTorrent to think collectively about
common problems and solutions:

The software:

I wonder - would people consider it useful to set up something like
brainstorm.wikimedia.org using this software, or would it be too
duplicative of BugZilla and listservs? The benefit of IdeaTorrent is
that it's very straightforward for non-technical users to contribute
ideas and solutions. And, of course, it could be used for
non-technical problems as well.
Seems like bugzilla, but with a separated "solutions" section,
where
proposed solutions can get votes.
I don't think it should be added, but moving bugzilla to brainstorm
could be considered.
It's worth the experiment. Bugzilla seems more related to technical
issues and questions, in which I presume it does a good job. We need
better processes to arrive at solutions to social and governance problems.
