As you mention "blueprints" and "features": How do we prevent this from 
becoming one of the following?

  * Launchpad Blueprints, where a huge amount of unsorted ideas ended
    up, that nobody ever looked at.
  * Launchpad "Wishlist" bugs, which were a vast amount of mostly
    unactionable ideas of varying usefulness which were often not more
    than a nice way of "closing" a report.

Also you're asking for names already - but I think nobody except for the 
hackfest attendees knows what this feature is actually about and how 
it's supposed to work in the end. Are you planning a more detailed 
write-up on this?
 From the things I read between the lines I especially wonder: How are 
"ideas" selected? How does it differ from discussions we're having in 
inbox already? What issues is it trying to solve in the first place 
(i.e. why do we even need a new place)? And related to the above: What 
do you want to do differently compared to previous models that will make 
it more likely it'll work this time?


The same goes for the "Forecast" btw, which could use some explaining, 
too, unless you want to explain it by doing "it" (whatever "it" might be...)
