Reactive, we already have a good sense of what that's like, with the dogfooding discussions that have been going on. Proactive, ideas for new designs, we're a little fuzzier on. I think we will need to set up an area on the wiki where people can file ideas, so we don't lose them. Then when it's time to discuss planning, we can review the ideas and suggestions people have contributed and discuss them in the context of goals and tenets for future releases.
One possible way to make it easier to track things without hampering free flow of ideas might be to somehow link the wiki and Bugzilla. For example, one could start by filing an enhancement in Bugzilla. If it is considered too fuzzy or too far ahead of the current plans, the discussion could be moved to the wiki, and a page created in a special area, for example "Jungle/Bug1234" or something like that. The Bugzilla entry is meanwhile marked "LATER" or even "INWIKI", so it doesn't have to ever show up in the developers' queries, but it's easy to schedule it for further consideration at a future date, or reopen once the discussion in the wiki has produced an implementable proposal.
