How would you keep track of the ideas that have been implemented/are being worked on? User-submitted?

#274If employed in an corporate/enterprise environment, it reads all the documentation and then someone can ask it questions like: "What does the SDP 5.1 do?", "What is the capacity of an SDP 5.1?", "Can I connect an SDP to an SCP" etc.

#275Why are recipes linear and textual? I'm surprised the recipe-book metaphor sticked with us for that long. I want a social cooking platform where the only way to represent a recipe is with a diagram. http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/156044/2247517/Pancak... You're a cooking master?
