Hello, I'm thinking about using this as a community engagement tool. I have a community news website and this software is intriguing.
What is the general workflow for an idea? Is there a more detailed list of features?

Once an idea is published, it is opened for discussion and voting.
Voting on an idea, like other actions made on the website (commenting, discussing...) adds points to the idea but also to the user who voted and the one who created the idea (everything is configurable via Rules).
Once the idea reached a certain threshold (again - configurable) - it receives a new status. Statuses can be used to later do something with the idea (either promote them or in the scenario of ideas - inspect them more closely).

Scoring reduces with time as we use the radioactivity mechanism, so an idea "wants" to be under the spotlight for a long time in order to maintain it's popularity. This is usually the case with popular ideas anyway :)

When an idea reaches a certain status, it may automatically step out of the voting cycle (this is usually the case when inspecting an idea internally).
