Itching to code apps

Maybe we should bring unused ideas forward? They tend to get lost once the year goes past...

Agreed! I've always wanted a more dedicated "idea bank" area where requests/ideas could be submitted (maybe tagged with "NANY" as appropriate) and stick around persistently, be searchable, etc. If it were done with our existing Redmine system, ideas could even be easily spun out into their own projects, publicly track "percentage complete", that sort of thing. Though that would probably be overkill for most "coding snack" type things.

wraith808:
Maybe not even make it specific to NANY, but to borrow your term, make it an 'Idea Bank'.

JavaJones:
Yes, exactly. What I meant when I said "tagged with NANY as appropriate" was that only NANY-related suggestions would be tagged that way, but there would be many more ideas, and even the NANY-tagged ones would still be a part of the greater idea bank.

timns:
The only problem with using something like RedMine is that it's probably a bit "dry" and feels more oriented towards tracking issues with existing applications.

I know it also has a wiki, but is there something more GUI-wiki-like out there with perhaps a better focus on the Idea Bank (love that name btw) approach?

JavaJones:
Yeah, there are lots of systems that would probably work, and perhaps work better than Redmine. I just liked how easily things could be "promoted" from ideas to fully tracked projects with Redmine. Redmine is actually pretty friendly for a bug tracker too. :D I think with a little tuning, an "ideas" project could be stripped down to be pretty simple and easy to use.
