Well, developers should at least provide insight if something is
technically not manageable ... but the funny thing is, that an idea pool
could provide some inspiration to them - like the EasyHacks do today ...

Discussions are absolutely required when it comes to a certain point,
but sometimes it would already help to know what helps (more) "normal"
users most. And that usually doesn't happen on mailing lists, nor can it
be measured easily.

However, Marc asked for some "wiki-fication" ... here is a page I've
started some years ago. It basically collects requirements and some
proposals, although outdated, maybe helpful:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Idea_Handling

By the way, if somebody wants to extract parts of the page, then feel
free (speaking of my contributions) ;-) 

Cheers,
Christoph
