Posting in brainstorm?
 

Hi guys, i'm quite new here but i've had my n900 about 5 months now and i've come up with an idea for (hopefully) someone to develop into an app. i've tried to post in brainstorm but its asking me to log in but says invalid everytime i try?? whats the deal? I'm sure i'm doing something wrong so step by step would be appreciated to direct my post into the right place. I've read the "read before you post" bit in brainstorm but it makes no sense to me. Anyhoo, hope someone understands my confusion and can help.

I could be wrong on this, but I think it needs your maemo.org credentials, rather than the forum ones.

Re: Posting in brainstorm?
 

Eh? still don't understand. I can only post in talk with my user and password it seems. do i have to register again to post in brainstorm?

Re: Posting in brainstorm?
 

I think you do

Re: Posting in brainstorm?
 

I'm not certain of the details, but I think it's because t.m.o. was originally a different site altogether. If you got to maemo.org and register there, you can use those credentials for Brainstorm, the wiki, etc.

I've just registered in the garage bit and it said i have full access now, still says invalid?? Grr... i'll try again tomorrow

Yes, as I understand it, it takes time for the Garage registration to propagate.

Whats the deal with brainstorm??
 

so i have a neat idea... something thats been on my mind for weeks and then i find the brainstorm section and think GREAT! Maybe someone there, a developer might take on the idea, but for god sake why is it so difficult to use? i've registered (again) to have full access and be a part of this place and finally posted my idea only now its nowhere to be seen apart from in my proposals, and isn't searchable niether. Can someone please explain to me in plain flipping english how to use the brainstorm section? And explain the proccess of an idea turning into something people may use? I'm getting a bit cheesed off with this place now. Its just too confusing?

You have to create a separate login under garage.maemo.org if you haven't done so already (I know, it's stupid IMO). After that though it's pretty straightforward.

Threads merged. natedog400, please do not open multiple threads for the same topic.

Re: Posting in brainstorm?
 

If you are finally able to login to brainstorm you go to TMO (here in forums) first.
Create a thread with your proposal in the Brainstorm section. Go to Brainstorm and create a new one and link to the forum's thread you just created. Then copy the link from Brainstorm to your thread in TMO. Done.
Sounds a lot of work but really isn't.

For your proposal: please try to give an as general as possible explanation what the problem is you want to be solved. Direct app porting requests don't need a brainstorm.

Feel free to follow the links in my signature for further explanation.
Once you understood the current processing it is easy. For some reason no one works on improvements for Brainstorm at the moment and the list is long already.

Welcome to maemo.org!

PS yes the logins aren't linked, that's another issue being discussed for a long time now.
