Writing a well thought out e-mail can be done in the same time. - Although enforcing a minimum structure of "idea" description is a good thing to do, I found the current structure presented by that web page lacks focus. It has problem description and a rather broad and vague "idea", and it feels to me that it is promoting entering any garbage without discussing feasibility, "pros-and-cons" or necessary steps to achieve a particular goal. - The largest issue of this kind of system is who will be moderating and how capable they are.
