Eric,

We've long lacked a process for average Plone users to make feature 
requests.  But no longer! :-)

I hope I've managed to document feature request vs. PLIP reasonably well 
now at:

http://plone.org/documentation/faq/suggest-a-feature-for-plone

Please feel free to suggest any ways to make this clearer, or to adapt 
anything from there onto the dev.plone.org/plone wiki space as needed.

best,
jon
