Unfortunately, there isn't much that we can do with ideas that are only
described by a short phrase, unless they're obvious and trivial (none of
these are).  What we need are feature specifications, like the ones found at
http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDownUnder/BreezyGoals

It is documents like these which provide a developer with enough information
to actually implement the feature.

4, 5 and 6 already have draft or partial specifications in the wiki.  If the
community has additional comments or feedback on those specifications, they
should contact the people listed at the top of the specification.
