Heheh...
Well, perhaps split it up into sections. Have a section called "Cloud 9", or
even just "Half-baked ideas" for that, and state at the top that they're not
being seriously considered now, or possible ever.
If someone submits something that is so obviously a bad idea ("Rob, why
can't I write inline COBOL in euphoria????!?!?") it can be moved to a "Bad
idea section".
Given your experience with ListFilter, a good idea might be to parse any
top-level submissions (proposals, not replies), and show a list of "this
idea may have been submitted already in one of these previous submissions,
check before posting" to reduce duplicates.
Allow users to edit the top-level submission (the proposal) as new ideas are
incorporated into the proposal, with a changelog. Mark agains replies to the
proposal what version the replies were made.
Hmmm, I think this would be nice.
