Nominating entries off-site only?

Is there a forum or page on h2g2 where people have been listing entries they think have potential for the UG? Or should we keep that discrete and offsite? I have a few ideas in mind, and I'd like to note them somewhere on h2g2, so I don't lose the list on my computer at home or at work. (Being lazy factors into the equation as well.) And if someone has already started a list like this, I don't want to confuse things by starting another one.

For AGG/GAG/CAC, we prevented people from "previewing" our upcoming entries by giving the nominations page a totally irrelevant title: "Waitresses". (Get it? They're "waiting" to be used later.) But if the purpose of keeping entry nominations & comments offsite is to avoid discussing entries in front of authors, then I can wait until the new yahoo group wakes up.

Later,

The purpose is for non miners to bring good entries to the attention of the miners. Miners won't tell if something has been voted for, just submit for review or tell other miners.

Non miners can't easily tell us things offsite. Being recommended in that forum is basically the equivalent of a thumbs up from a non miner. No big deal to have this sort of onsite forum I think
