so we don't forget about the good ideas that we can transpose later into
the wishlist (under the bug report system).....

When I last looked, launchpad's blueprints did not support discussions.  Do
they now?  Without that  I found them pretty worthless.

I don't think so.  The project has never suffered from lack of ideas or
direction, only from lack of lines of code.  Those come from qualified
man-hours.

More than enough wishlist items, blueprints and suggestions.  Keeping track
of them seems to have no effect on lines of code per month.

anyway I find the blueprints a good idea as a WIP / solution discussion
offload from the list.
