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.
