We just started with simple and usual user interface for ideation perspective. user can post new idea with category and other user can comment, attach artifact, vote on it.

Implemented these features (#15 (merged) and #17)

• Post (name will be changed) stream.
• Post edit/delete
• Drag & drop file attachment
• Category (this name is not fixed, too) filter
• Category manage
• Comment for posts
• Vote functions
• Infinite pagination by scroll
• Comment delete

@hughie @eskim do you have some simple instructions on how to test the Ideation Perspective? How do you normally add some information or sample date in it to be able to test it?

[hughie]

@adamantivm We just tested user interface's functions. we will update with data model v3 and add proper sample idea on it.

We are trying to apply teaser workflow on ideation perspective and modeling perspective.

• customer upload idea
• solution provider comment on it
• solution provider make solution
• user add idea for solution
• solution provider make new work item(task) from a idea
• developer can add artifact on work item(task) in modeling perspective.

That sounds excellent @hughie. I think that's the right way to go.

But anyway, if you can give informal, casual instructions on how do you normally add data for testing, it will allow us to replicate your work and see it in our development environment for more comment and contributions.

Hi @hughie. Can you explain the "vote functions"? I'm asking you because maybe it doesn't need to be implemented. Or maybe it should be changed to "stars" or rating system.
Let me explain with an example:
Dorothy wants a solution so she starts using Cento and creates an entry in the Ideation perspective. It will be something like: "I need to be more productive but I can't hire more employees".
The Business Marketer assigned to assist Dorothy, will reply with a couple of questions to refine her needs and to be able to define the scope and idea of the final solution.
After a few comments from Dorothy to The B. Marketer and vice-versa, he knows what Dorothy likes or not. So, he starts to add comments about different ideas. And Dorothy will "vote-up" or "vote-down"... but, how many times she will be doing this? I think that a star or scoring system could suit better.

The situation where voting is better than star or rating is when there are "many Dorothys". Like a team. Ex: Dorothy and his sister, and his father starts using Cento and when an idea from the Business Marketer is filled, each of them can vote-up or down only once.

Or maybe, I've understood this perspective in an incorrect way that lead me to add this comment.

Anyway, thanks!
Gustavo

Hi @GusPS Thank you for indicating good point. Actually, we thought it can use for sorting and mark for showing the customer like this idea.

Actually, We are updating about ideation perspective. We knew there are two part of the Ideation perspective.
First part is showing customer's needs,requirements or solution provider's idea. In example, Solution provider add his comment on the customer's idea. this stage for any users, I think this part can be out of boundary of Cento. It's more like community. Every user vote for the idea. This is actually rating system as you told. And the owner of idea or needs can make a decision about choosing someone's idea. So, we need rating system and Accept(adopt?) button for idea owner.

The second part is related with solution. After solution provider made a solution, solution provider's member and customer add related ideas for solution. It's different stage.
team member can vote for idea and the project manager can accept the idea for realizing.
This stage needs voting system and Accept(adopt?) button.

We are making the ideation perspective separate. And we will fill with proper idea from use case. Currently, It is just filled with no meaning latin sentence for testing User interface function.

@hughie I think @GusPS's point is simply that because of the nature of the project, it is possible that there will be not enough people participating in the voting process to reach enough of a critical mass.
In other words, 'voting' will work best when you have many many users. If you have only a few users, then maybe 'stars' (score 1 to 5) will work better.

But in any case, I think this is a relatively minor detail and can be changed in the future, so I think whatever you choose, @hughie, will be enough to convey the idea to the review committee and to make progress with the prototype for now.
