+1 for the modified idea.
We definitely need to get the idea out of newcomer's heads that to be a
proper OSM member you need to have written at least one proposal... It
seems to me that everyone, conciously or not, uses their first weeks
with OSM to dig up the one spot where something could be mapped that
isn't yet, and they think they do the project a service. We could do a
flow chart: "Have you already mapped the object in question? No -> go to
exit" ;-)
I would also like to point out that I but a very cautionary note on
"Proposed Features" in November last year:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Proposed_features&diff=prev&oldid=173634
But that note was quickly toned down by User:Nickvet419, and now again
the page invites misunderstandings regarding the power of a vote.
Bye
Frederik
