1. delete/disable/hide THIS comment in the UI - just one measly little
admin-visible-only button - pls pls pls pls?
2. be able to comment to an answers without the status changing to
either answered or more-information


>From a personal project management perspective:
3. a centralised "what's new"/Announcements for ALL projects. a-la
freshmeat.

There are two major missing features, imho, in running a project on LP:
a. generic website/page information - eg wiki as a solution.
b. a central announcer

Every announcement I've done on freshmeat brings in new folks who've
never heard of the projects or what they do. LP helps hugely with the
day-to-day running of a project, but plays a very minor role in the
marketing - and thus long term growth - of a project.

Rephrased: I grow the project via freshmeat, I run it via launchpad.
