I know a few people would like to see the talk namespaces of wikimediafoundation.org opened up to general discussion, but that's a bit tricky with raw HTML being allowed there.
This shouldn't be a blocker. Disallow raw HTML on talk pages? Simply restrict editing to a higher 'autoconfirmed' standard?
I would like to see your ideas on how to do this; it seems like a good idea.
Trying to get me motivated? Tsk, tsk.
Raw HTML is just one piece of the puzzle. A lot of other hacks and customizations have been built in to the site over the years with the bedrock principle that account creation is restricted there. I'd like to see at least the talk namespaces opened up as well. I laid out my thoughts here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Liberating_wikimediafoundation.org.
For those interested, there's discussion on the talk page about how to best implement this idea.
