I have a generic and flexible model in mind that I started sketching out 
during today's flurry of ideas and I'll try to get it out on the list 
before I leave for dinner tonight.  :)  In the meantime feel free to 
keep rocking the ideas!

That sort of listing is of limited utility, as compared to a blog for example, where you can search by topic, etc.
