Two issues and a half offhand after entering one:

 - I found the experience of adding an "idea" too clunky and slow.
   Writing a well thought out e-mail can be done in the same time.

 - Although enforcing a minimum structure of "idea" description is a good
   thing to do, I found the current structure presented by that web page
   lacks focus.  It has problem description and a rather broad and vague
   "idea", and it feels to me that it is promoting entering any garbage
   without discussing feasibility, "pros-and-cons" or necessary steps to
   achieve a particular goal.

 - The largest issue of this kind of system is who will be moderating and
   how capable they are.
