I've been thinking of doing something similar for RGL; there are loads of people who keep saying "ooh, I keep meaning to add place X to RGL", and maybe if I got people round my house for food and drinks and laptopping they might actually do it :) I was thinking of combining this with some user-testing, e.g. having people show me how they use the site, and what they find confusing. It's quite likely that some of these issues, and maybe even new feature requests, could be fixed on the spot.
