Article ideas.

An idea that's been floating around in my head for a while now, is the possibility of having a place for users to register ideas for articles that they'd like to see. This way, authors can see what topics people are interested in, and submit an appropriate article or three on the topic. Ideally, they would register an interest in the article so that posters could see that their ideas were being considered (not necessarily who was going to write them, merely something along the lines of "3 authors interested").

We actually had this years and years ago and it was never used. Suggestions were made, sure, but the follow up was very, very low.

I've seen a lot of requests like this on forums (even received requests on my email) "Dear sir, please give me code to ...". So, Pete, I don't think that is a good idea. People should publish about things they excel, not what the audience is asking.

Just because an article idea is asked for, it doesn't mean you have to pick it up. Plus, there may be someone who excels in that area who didn't think anyone would be interested in it. Like QA, the requests would be moderated so that it doesn't just become "Gimme Codez Urgntz."
