Many researchers will know someone who passed on before their time and left a huge gap in many peoples' lives. Why not commemorate these brief lives and put the best into a collaborative entry. I'm sure it will be a chance for contributors to write some really moving entries. It would certainly be more worthwhile than the recent entry on kissing!!
Any thoughts - positive or negative?

I don't know, it seems a little too general to me... do you mean famous people, or what?
If you are thinking of people who died during World War II you could check out the new site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ww2/ which is all about personal memories of the war.
Other than that, i don't really know. Anyone else got anything to comment?

Actually I was thinking of people in our social circles. Just an idea to commemorate absent friends.

I'm not sure many people would be interested in that... if you want to make an entry about a particular person you can, i'm not sure if it would get into the edited guide, but it might well do, even if it doesn't it would still be in the guide.
Of course, i could be wrong, what do other people think?
