Read about Ubuntu's brainstorm website over at /. and being an Ubuntu user I had to check it out. Once there I noticed that you had to register to use the website so when I visited the registration page I saw a very familiar design: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/user/register
Ubuntu brainstorm is similar to Dell's Idea storm the aim being to let the community members submit their ideas on how to make the OS better and then other members vote the idea up or down similar to the way it is done on Digg.com

wow, imagine if we had that for modules and core ;)
just imagine: people vote on value and interest of major and minor modules by category on drupal.org and then talented devs consolidate efforts and push out more 'wanted' modules more quickly to more users based on majority votes and opinions...
...or the same thing for core features and related planning...
that would be some interesting shit...

what is vote module name?
what is vote module name? can we download it?
it's a whole voting api, tons of modules for it...
there are tons of discussions about building 'digg' style sites with drupal - search around the forums for 'digg' or 'voting api module' (and follow the threads from the module as well) - it's very powerful and useful (user points, voting content, etc)

Good idea
That's a good idea and way to go for using Drupal there! I wish there was something similar on here so it would be easier to tell where the quality modules are.

holy crap - it's coming already!!
so as i was reading this all, i was like "you know what? i'm just gonna throw up an ad=free pligg site and see if people want to vote on modules" - so i type in http://drupalmodules.com/ to see if it's taken - and it is. check it out (not fully there yet, but the right idea)
