Maybe start an ideas comments section below the general comments section, and have a sub-thread for each idea?

Just post it here with a good message title.
If you would like to elaborate on the idea, then post a new message in the IDEAS thread with your elaboration.
We'll get the top few messages based on voting and then we'll pick one amongst ourselves.

We want to get the best ideas, so why limit voting?

anyone for now. there's no way to control that.
presumably, the malcontents won't spoil the party and we'll have enough good voting going on to balance things out.

Good for preliminary voting, but we really need the kind of voting that CP uses for the weekly poll.
Maybe those ideas that get above 1.8 should get voted on with a yes/no system.

I don't really know how people vote? I have not yet voted because I can't vote on my own projects, and I don't want to sabotage other peoples projects.

1) There's a number of ideas that I like AND I'd work on, but there are also some ideas that I'd like but WOULDN'T work on - because I don't have the tools, or I don't have the know-how, or whatever. (I suspect, but can't be sure, that this is one of the main reasons why some things have a few really high votes, but not very many people have voted on them.)
I'd like to see (maybe later on, as the current system does not lend itself to this) a seperate vote for "good idea" and "I'd pitch in for this one".
2) I'd really like to see how many people would help with a given project. This is crucial, because without helpers, a project is doomed. The voting reflects this somewhat, but if, say, Project#1 has 10 enthusiastic proponents, and 5 people who vote 1 on it, and Project#2 has 3 enthusiastic proponents and lots of "well, maybe"'s, Project#2 will rise above Project#1,even though it's likely to be doomed to failure.

Also for the project in general, especially the first time out, I would like to say; Think small, think focused, think useful.
An operating system, a game? Come on guys, we know how that will go, it won't. We need something that will do one or two things very, very well. Something that can start small, a foundation layer, be released, see results and then can be extended as needed.
It must be attainable.
Management of this is going to be a nightmare. People get bored, go on holiday, disagree, fail to deliver or just disapear. Splinter groups will form.
So if we do something small and focused the first time it sets a good precedent for later, larger projects. Lets rather get our internals working before we try and fix the world

I agree 100%.
We tend to believe that the more bodies we throw at a project, the faster it will get done. In fact, it turns out to be the opposite. That's why I'd like to see us work on more than one project, maybe even the top 5. With about 10 developers each.

10 developers is perfect if they work actively.

Just so this doesn't get out of hand, let me post new polls directly under this message.
If you would like to ask a poll question, please ask me to write it out by posting a request in the COMMENTS section.
thanks

Should we use only the most popular idea or should we split the ideas into multiple projects?

In order for polls to work in this discussion forum, I think you'll want to post the poll title, then one new post below that for each poll option. Then we can vote a 5 for the one we want (and leave the others alone). The post with the most votes then one the poll.
That way there will be far fewer posts and an easier way of determining the winner.
Ex:
POLL: Do you like beef?
Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "Yes"
Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "No"
Of course, you could make it cleaner by just putting "Yes" and "No" in the message titles, but I wanted to make the concept easy to understand.
[edit]I'll post an example below this message, then delete it when it serves no more purpose.[/edit]
