I don't think it was appropriate to put this link, because the list of ideas 
on our wiki is not approved officially, and it is generally difficult to 
maintain the quality of wiki pages, as anybody can modify the contents at any 
time (unless we "freeze" pages, which is also not quite convenient...). In 
addition, I don't know who want to be mentors for GRUB this year yet.

So I think it would be better for GRUB contributors to do:

- first of all, finding mentor(s) (if none, no way to participate),

- collecting ideas from the wiki, the mailing list, and so on,

- then summerizing ideas under www.gnu.org/software/grub as usual.

Okuji
