I do like the idea of having a blog dedicated to being a suggestion
box.  One advantage that I can think of is to share the comments and
responses with others to read (and perhaps commented again), assuming
those comments and responses are published.

We did a similar thing in the atomic format: people wrote down
comments, we answered and then display the comments and answers on a
bulettin board for public to read.

However, the original poster also wrote:

which indicates that a dedicated comments/feedback form is already available.

So, now I'm curious: if the already available dedicated
feedback/comment form is rarely used,  will moving it to a blog
encourage more users to write comments?
