There's nothing wrong with consulting with experts in private, coming up
with solid plans on your own, and then presenting those plans - or even
better, an implementation of those plans - to the community for review.

I think we'd all be better served if more ideas were developed this way:
research, then prototype, *then* discuss. 

Starting with the discussion seems to get us nowhere, and you know what
they say about Design by Committee..
