Unfortunately, I don't think so.  Our goal is to get shy, not so invested,
not so web savvy people from the field to feel comfortable giving us their
opinions.

I don't think going to another website, creating another account, using a
non-WYSIWYG editor and changing a really official looking page is going to
do that for us.

We need an easy, chatty, way for people to put in their $.02.

Is LaunchPad open to making changes for us?  Cause its close.  Really what I
think I'm asking for is a "comment" and "vote" functionality on Blueprints.
