Thanks.

Not on the ideas page, yes. On the other hand, this is an *application*, so 
our text must prove that we're willing to go a few steps beyond what is 
currently visible. Also note that I didn't claim that we already have any 
"radically new" features - there's just some more momentum currently, which 
might eventually lead to features which even might be rather new. If you have 
another wording in mind that doesn't seem too off to you, feel free to replace 
that - but just saying "we want to implement a minor new feature" is too 
boring as well. Again, this is the application, so we need to show off a bit, 
too, at least in the first answer. We're getting down to reality rather 
quickly during the rest of the questions anyway.

Christian
