in general, more sophisticated search - search that works - but also the ability to filter by community, tag, region, content type etc.

Ability to 'look-later' or bookmark library documents - this could also inform rankings - bookmarks could be used as a quasi-ratings systems.

Landing page should allow you to customise with different views in - e.g. activity streams, different community outputs, etc.

We want various online incentives for completing member profiles, like badges, % profile completion, or points. Conversely, think it's so important that we want to consider 'penalties', too - e.g. auto-reminders to complete, % profile completion visible to all members, not full membership rights (e.g. download rights) without a minimum completion level

We like the idea of creating more openness and permeability in communities, but don't want to lose the ability to have private communities for sensitive topics. Where communities are private need to have greater control over what's visible via a CoP landing page

Instead of maintaining profiles in a whole bunch of places, can we use LinkedIn as a way of sharing our professional profiles on the Knowledge Hub?

Currently, when an event date is passed the event disappears. We want to be able to connect slides, documents, feedback on the event, etc to an event so that people who could attend can find docs electronically and those that couldn't can see what happened.

it's hard to find older documents now - we want an automatic index of documents to be created which can be sorted by relevant CoP, by tag, date, author (or posted by), subject, title, and by popularity (likes, downloads) etc. etc.

Basically apply multiple themes across all items of content (not just documents) and sub-themes. For example - efficiency as a major theme, but procurement, charging, etc as sub-themes.

Current e-mail notifications show multiple entries for comments on a post and also, where you're a member of >1 CoP, the same things time and time again - it would make life quicker and easier if this were to be addressed, plus it would make people more likely to access via the links.

If someone's downloaded a document, we'd like an auto-reminder sent 'was this document useful' encouraging them to complete a review

More auto-help or mouse-over help particualrly for first time users. Like the microsoft paperclip, but much less annoying.

We like the idea of being able to share content and membership over much more fluid CoP boundaries, because there is a lot of cross-over of interest. While still maintaining a focus on particular programme areas.

Some way for users to easily record snippets of information, URLs, images etc which they can then share (or not) with the rest of the community.

We'd like to be able to search through membership to identify members AND activities by region, council and council type. This would help us follow up on good practice and share regional good practice more effectively

A very simple way to build basic team plans

We want relevant sections on the IDeA website to auto-update with content from relevant communities and better links in to communities about what's on our corporate website

Make it easy for users to publish any content they want on a publicly accessible web page - not not necessarily a forum or blog post, or a wiki page. Also not necessarily tied to one, or more than one, community. Lot's of people in the public sector are limited in the flexibility they have to publish content online using their organisation's CMS etc.
