It's not clear to me how that would be any different than the current forum. People can comment or not, as they choose. The only advantage is organizational really. Simply having all features requests one location makes it easier to search and see if something has already been posted or not. Xara staff can still collect the info as before.

Same goes for bug reports. It is convenient to have them (organizationally) in one location. Then the main forum can continue to be used for "how to" kind of threads.

This is common on other software related forums...
