Favorites/Angela
I have a lot of favourites. These are not in order of preference. I've not included proposals relating to semantic wikis as I see current implementations as highly conflicting with the goal of improving usability. I've also not included proposed relating to reliability of the content as there are existing features such as flagged revisions which still need to be trialed more widely before launching into more of these.
