External Sources

There are a lot of external sources for good feature ideas. Most wiki for WikiEngine development have at least one place where people submit new ideas. A lot of WikiKM:CommunityWiki have places where people talk over ideas. And there is a lot of healthy criticism of wiki on the Internet. All of these are valuable sources for feature ideas.
