Request For Comments: blueprint around Ideastorm idea

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Hi Nicolas,

Stéphane and I are working on some plans along these lines as a 
extension of the qa site (see: https://qa.stgraber.org/). We expect to 
have a demo up soon.

I agree that this would be a great feature for Launchpad in the future, 
but it will be useful to start with a prototype first.
