I'm a longtime GIS person, who'd like to document feature requests. I can see a few possibilities:

1. posting here might just annoy official contributors, which is why I'm asking first.
2. perhaps I could be made a contributor, and then I can tag my entries as "wishlist" or "bug" etc. (I currently don't have labeling rights)
3. I could post each item as a separate entry, and someone else could come in and tag them appropriately.
4. I could create one master post, of a slew of wishlist items.

It's worth mentioning that I'm new to mapnik / tilemilll / mapbox, and not quite sure where one begins and the other ends.

I've been doing interactive mapping a whole slew of ways over the years, and I'd like to adopt mapnik and tilemill. On the other hand, some of my alternative methods have features that I highly value... so if I could document what I roundly miss here (or in a mapnik issue queue?) perhaps they could go into the hopper.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to post my wishlist--one item at a time, so they could be tracked--and have labeling rights. And also have the group offer gentle guidance if my issue really belongs over on the mapnik side.

Please comment on your preferences regarding the options above.
