Good idea, but we have to find a suitable place for that "idea page".

Hi

option 1: some other Apache projects do have a wiki for that - maybe that can be done for PDFBOX too. 
option 2: we might open a ticket for discussion and add comments etc. to it. As soon as there is consensus on a topic we might open another ticket for that particular topic to track it's progress.

WDYT
