Not sure what the Tree structure is, but it could explain why i like it ;-)

How would you like to see it changed to increase its usefulness to you ?

And if that is not the right question then maybe:

How would a tool have to look like that would enable the best informal

eitor, hackathons, hotRFC, nomcom, etc-and-pp) ?
