Ubuntu Requests Reviewers to Handle Flood of Brainstorm Ideas

As KDE jumps boldly into the waters of its new brainstorming initiative, the Ubuntu Brainstorm team battles a strong current of incoming ideas.

Ubuntu's Brainstorm project has witnessed a steady increase in idea submissions since its inception, and given this upward trend and current workload, the team has decided to call for reinforcements. The Brainstorm team is seeking users familiar with Ubuntu's Brainstorm process to act as Idea Reviewers.

Idea Reviewers screen community suggestions in the Idea Sandbox, verifying that the ideas are new (and are actual ideas as opposed to bug or packaging requests). The Ubuntu Brainstorm Moderator wiki details some of the finer points of the Idea Reviewer role, and explains the application process for these positions.

While the Brainstorm team requests applicants have some previous Ubuntu Brainstorm experience (encouraged mainly to ensure applicants know exactly what they're signing on for), new Idea Reviewers can certainly request mentors to ease them into their new role. This is an engaging, direct way for those without development skills (or who want a break from programming) to contribute.
