Could you create code that closes the gap between blogs and wikis by allowing content to flow easily between the two? And has the UI project been pretty tightly sketched out or is there openness to unanticipated outcomes (and outside people with ideas) that present unanticipated opportunities? Regarding UI, there's no shortage of high daily impact UI that's terribly designed and costing the nation millions of dollars a year. Some is amusing, some leads to dangerous situations. Some makes smart kids believe they're stupid and puts them on the slippery slope to prison (Ogletree's Institute at Harvard Law tackles this issue extremely thoughtfully and well). Other bad UI simply sucks time out of people's lives. What are you hoping to focus on in one year and in five years? Will you use UI improvement to decrease inefficiencies in the world around us as well as create new products and new efficiencies? Wonderful stuff.

We went back and forth on that point. Wiki's are not that user friendly but blog comments have their issues too. We thought of maybe using something like Ideascale as well. We've been using that successfully for getting user feedback on our base features and new module suggestions. Would that make more sense here? Nik – thanks for the comment.

One suggestion -- a blog and comments seem ill-suited for the stated goal. Have you considered setting up a Wiki for the exercise?
