[UX]A bit of "brainstorming" on the forums

At the ES forums we started a small experiment: a section(1) to
present and discuss ideas about the program. This experiment can be
viewed as a "first run" were people can share their ideas and interact
with others to see if it is a good idea (or not) and express it the
best possible way. The goal is to arrive to a valid enhancement
request.

Let's see what happens. If the experiment makes sense, maybe we can
start thinking of a way to extend it.

Ricardo

We ended this week with a bug report(1) and a small feature
request(2): not bad... ;)

The story for the feature request is interesting, because it started
with something quite BIG (the autofilter understanding if the data is
sorted on a certain way or not, to suggest the appropriate filter) and
evolved to something really simple and useful (just add more options
to the default autofilters --right now there is only one option, "Top
10") so I think discussing the ideas before sending them is a really
good practice.

Of course a "critical mass" of interested users is needed and I don't
think we will be able to come with something every week, but it is a
good start, IMO.

KG01 - Good stuff Ricardo, any insight is great. I'll check it out.

To mitigate "jumping to solution, we might consider to start the discovery
by having people describe what they want to do and what the problem is.

In the initial mail I wrote "At the ES forums"... :)

Not too much movement for now, but let's see what happens.

Not german, looks spanish.  That would match the /es/ part in the URL.

Hi~
What's the language of the forum link "
http://user.services.openoffice.org/es/forum/viewforum.php?f=76"? I opened
the link and the language looks like Germany. If so, why not use English so
that people from different countries can share ideas there.
