What about categories? I think categories like 'wishlist', 'software development', 'hardware' would be neat. --Minime 13:52, 19 February 2007 (CET)

I am not too happy about the Wishlist part, though. Putting "wishlist" in the title will imply that an idea can only have 2 states: Being on the wishlist or not. And that is not the case.

It is a continuum where an idea progresses from being just a wild idea to being a rock solid application.

I agree it should be clear from a page what stage this idea is in:

  • Is this merely dreaming that is impossible in current hardware (Then it should clearly state in the start of the page that this is merely dreaming)
  • Is this merely dreaming that is possible in current hardware?
  • Is this a complete specification but with no implementation?
  • Is this a specification with a prototype implementation?
  • Is this implemented and tested but still not stable?
  • Is this stable and ready for consumer use?
