I think doing this completely open in scope and allowing people to think 
outside the box and bring up crazy ideas has its virtues.

But still it is of course to be for a task list so what you write there 
should have the form of something that could - at least in principle - 
be an engineering task.  Things like 'make osm.org the most used map 
website of the world' would for example not be an engineering task.

And if the ultimate list is limited to ten items i don't think it would 
be too disappointing if something is not on that list.  It would not 
means the task in question is undesirable or even unimportant, it just 
means that ten other things are considered to be more important.
